The Redeemers

By: Ace Atkins

Narrated by: Brian D'Arcy James

The electrifying new novel in New York Times best-selling author Ace Atkins' acclaimed series about the real Deep South.

He is only in his early 30s, but now Quinn Colson is jobless - voted out of office as sheriff of Tibbehah County, Mississippi, thanks to the machinations of county kingpin Johnny Stagg. He has offers from bigger and better places, but before he goes, he's got one more job to do - bring down Stagg's criminal operations for good. At least that's the plan. But in the middle of the long, hot summer, a trio of criminals stage a bold, wall-smashing break-in at the home of a local lumber mill owner, making off with a million dollars in cash from his safe, which is curious, because the mill owner is wealthy - but not that wealthy.

None of this has anything to do with Colson, but during the investigation, two men are killed, one of them the new sheriff. His friend, acting sheriff Lillie Virgil, and a dangerous former flame, Anna Lee Stevens, both ask him to step in, and reluctantly he does, only to discover that that safe contained more than just money - it held secrets. Secrets that could either save Colson - or destroy him once and for all.

It’s awesome

A little slow in the beginning, but sets up for an amazing ending. Quinn Colson for Sheriff!

Great reader

Am a fan of the Quinn Colson series, so I expected to like this one and I did. The reader is fantastic with voices and makes Ace Atkins’s dead on dialog crackle. This book is funnier than the earlier ones and I was laughing out loud at many points.

Quinn Colson = ACES

What made the experience of listening to The Redeemers the most enjoyable?

My review is for those who have listened to series. Outstanding and a home run! Johnny Stagg is no longer, finally stung by planted FBI agent. Quinn weaved throughout series of twists and turns.

Great read

Ace Atkins always tells a great story that feels true. This story, like the previous Quinn Colton stories is worth the listen.

Comes Together in the End

I have read all of Ace Atkins' Quinn Colson books. The beginning of this story was loose and all over the place, but after the first five or six chapters the storyline tightened up and made for an interesting read. As a native of North Mississippi, I think Atkins does a great job of portraying both the good, bad, and craziness of the area. I wish the narrator would learn how to pronounce Natchez Trace, crappie, and bream; but those are small annoyances. Overall, I highly recommend all of Atkins' books.
