A review by alexcarbonneau
The Broken Places by Ace Atkins
4.0
A solid 4 stars.
Excellent episode in the life of Quinn Colson and the good (and not so good) people of Tibbehah County.
What I found interesting in this one is how Atkins focused a little more on the other characters of the book and gave them a little more playing time, allowing the reader to put itself in the shoes of almost all of the cast of "The Broken Places", but without denaturalizing his storytelling and the general feeling you can get out of a "Quinn Colson Novel".
As usual, Atkins nails the ending and leaves us wanting more.
All-in-all, a very good novel that I feel Atkins used to set up a lot more of Colson Novels (haven't read the remaining 3 yet...)
