If you enjoy books about the KKK, lynching mobs and good ole Southern white boys who hate blacks, this just might be the book for you.

This is not an enjoyable book. It's rather depressing and racially tense. Had the premise indicated what this book was truly about, I never would have picked it up.

I like the character Louis Kincaid but I couldn't stay with this one, it moves so slow and introduces just too many people to keep up with and it's way too long mainly because it has pages and pages of nothing but just stretching it out.

Louis Kincaid in Black Pool, MS.....a lynched body, a town of quilty people, racism, murder......all rolled into one book. Very good. I couldn't put it down once I started it.

She will hook you with her believable characters, dialogue, and page-turning suspense. And I promise, when you put down the book and look out the window, you won't believe where you are.

I really enjoyed this book. It's a great story with good characters and it really gives a sense of what it was like in the deep south.
