A review by eleellis
The Innocents by Ace Atkins
4.0
When it comes to serialized novels, one can't go wrong with Ace Atkins' Quinn Colson series.
Each book is solid entertainment and consistently good with each new novel. Atkins has not turned his characters into unbelievable caricatures often found in other series, nor do his tales breach the level of possibility.
Without giving too much away, Colson has returned home, again, after a stint away from home and aids in a murder investigation where multiple people have a motive for the killing. (I won't reveal more, because, oddly, the murder does not happen immediately in the novel).
All the regulars in his previous novels return and in this novel, Atkins is all ready placing the foundation for the future novels. Johnny T. Stagg may be in prison, but that doesn't other vermin rise to the top to take his place.
Strongly recommended for a nice, lazy summer read. his
