Review 1: The Redeemers audiobook by Colin R.
Good, but not great.
I’ve enjoyed this series so far. I agree with other readers – this is not the strongest one in the series. Considering the impact this book had on some major characters, I was a bit disappointed with the overall story. And where was Boone at the end of the book? He didn’t even try to find Quinn or help Lily? It is almost like the author forgot all about him. I also couldn’t believe there was a 15 month jump at the end of the book. That’s a lot of time to skip. Also, Audible’s summary of the book was so wrong. Nonetheless, I’ll definitely listen to the next one in the series.
Review 2: The Redeemers audiobook by Binder38us
A true version of the south
Ace Atkins again gives us a great crime story that highlights the hypocrisy thar is the South: pious, racist folk who step over their mother’s dead body for a penny. Quinn Colson knows the world does not work that way and these stories are about his struggle against a society bent on being evil. It is a losing proposition, but I enjoy and admire his effort. I look forward to the new book. Great listen: the actor does an excellent job with voices.
Review 3: The Redeemers audiobook by Linda
Maybe I’ll make it through to the end.
Ace Atkins is a good author. The Quinn Colson series has been a good one. This book is so bogged down in four-letter words that the story is all but lost. This is frankly boring. The narration is well done, probably the saving grace for the book.
