"Mississippi Blues" opens with a bus wreck and the escape of an obvious criminal. Just like that the reader is sucked into the story because you can't--at least, I couldn't--imagine why the author chose to put Jace Hill front and center at the start of the book.Thanks to her skill, I soon found out.Several years before Jace was convicted of murdering a man who'd attacked Jace's mother. Sent off to prison, the trial had split up his sister, Summer, and the man she loved, Trey Bouche. Trey was the best friend whose testimony sent Jace to prison. But now Trey is back in town to see his sister, Lindy, graduate from high school and Jace is headed back to town to find the real murderer. It's a formula for disaster.Not to mention that Trey wants to see his old girlfriend and Jace needs help in hiding and Lindy volunteers.With two romances and multiple twists and turns in the plot, you might imagine the story was hard to follow. It was most definitely not. This was a book hard to put down, fun to read and very much recommended if you want to stay up late so you find out who the real murderer is.
