Redemption Road: A Novel | 
pickI don‘t read many thrillers anymore but every once in a while one captured me. Redemption Road is a dark, multi-layered slow-burn mystery featuring a rich North Carolina setting and a cast of complex characters seeking justice, revenge, and redemption in their own ways. Hart successfully balances multiple mysteries, ask the hard questions about justice and revenge, and keeps the suspense up to the very end. Excellent!

A boy with a gun waits for the man who killed his mother. A troubled detective confronts her past in the aftermath of a brutal shooting. After thirteen years in prison, a good cop walks free as deep in the forest, on the altar of an abandoned church, a body cools in pale linen. This is a town on the brink. This is Redemption Road.
so-soRead this a while ago. Dint recall much about it, I'm afraid. It was kind of a slog. I usually really like this author. #2018
Great book —- or I should say great listen on audible. Listened while driving, cooking, eating, walking the dog... pretty much any time I could get away with it!!
pickWe did it! Everyone finished the book and discussed it before we left the beach house. This stack was returned to the library this morning. We all loved the book. Highly recommended if you need a thriller, of the more literary type! #bookclub #beachread
This is my first truly alcohol water. Some family members brought it to the beach house. Not bad 😊#bookandbeverage #beachreads
You guys are going to get so tired of seeing my beach posts, but I‘m so excited to finally be on vacation and I just can‘t stop myself! The baby is sleeping in a wagon under the umbrella and the oldest is in the pool with his daddy, so Reading time for mommy! 😊🏖
😍🏖#beachread
I snuck away for a few minutes to myself with my book, beachside! We are all reading this one together for family book club on vacation.
pickA great, couldn't-put-it-down read. A bundle of extremely broken and damaged characters with lifetimes of infinite misery but somehow they all come together to make a stellar 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 read. Never read John Hart before but will certainly be picking up some of his other books.

New book started this morning for my Around the Year in 52 reading challenge. This one covers the prompt 'A book published in the last three years by an author you've never read before'. Anyone else read this? Good/bad?
I'm going in!!
Working in Orlando today and then back to hotel for some reading time :)
Picked two winners outta here today to win a Mercedes 💰💰 We raised about $150,000 today for the American Heart Association in Columbus, Georgia. A good reason for me to be at work and not reading ❤️❤️ I will be back Home tonight and in my comfy chair tomorrow.
Today's thrift store mini-book haul at $1 each. I've not read John Hart before but I hear good things and I think I need to read The Kitchen House before Glory Over Everything. Also I think I am addicted to the new Strawberry Green Tea Infusion at Starbucks. (I get mine without the sweetener so it isn't too sweet) It just tastes so summery and refreshing on a humid day. 📚😋☀️🍓🍵
Thinking of giving this one a try on a hot afternoon visiting the MS Delta, sitting on the fantastic porch @ TurnRow Book Co
😍📚🐉
pickI gave this book four (4) stars out of five (5). I love a good mystery book and this book did not disappoint. I had a problem with the main character's choices concerning her own legal issues and other issues. The ending wasn't that satisfactory. I would have enjoyed knowing the resulting effect on the community and how it impacted the main characters. Regardless, I liked this book and I would recommend it to people.
I still haven't started the books for my July challenge because I'm stuck on this book. It's a good book but it's taking forever to get through due to work and other commitments....
pickWhat a great book. I didn't want to put it down. Dark, twisted. 6 stars out of 5.
pickSomehow, I read John Hart's novels and think I've got it all figured out, and then another twist that's not even about the original twist pops up, and I'm enamored with love for John Hart all over again. I had the killer pegged early, but that's about all I had figured out. I may have shed a small tear while reading the epilogue, and then I question my emotional stability as I remind myself that the book is mystery/suspense 🤔😏 #johnhartforever
I missed this during the crazy that was last summer, so I'm reading it now. If you've never read a John Hart book, I suggest you do! He's AMAZING. (The copper Mississippi bookmark was a special gift that recently resurfaced while packing! It makes me happy.)
💙💚💛my #springbreakbookexchange #buddyread gifts! The card and bookmark are so cool. I haven't heard of these books do it likes I'm discovering new authors (always fun).
Thanks @Reecaspieces !
Megan is behind the mic stand in my view - Boo! - but I'm loving the conversation and just might have to break down and buy a John Hart novel, too. I ❤❤❤ book festivals!!! #VABook2017
pickThis book is incredible. The writing style is so classy and sophisticated that I was immediately engrossed in the story. The female protagonist is strong and admirable. This one will stay with me for a long time. 💙
Loved The Last Child so trying Redemption Road. Loving it so far. Love a good mystery/crime/thriller with lots of moving parts
pickThis deals with rape, kidnapping, murder, serial killer and police corruption. This was so twisty and suspenseful, I thought I had the 'whodunit' figured out. I was so wrong. 😁👍👍
pickElizabeth is a detective who just shot and killed two men. The state police are investigating her for using 18 bullets, they're calling it torture.
Around the same time a former cop, Adrian gets out of jail after 13 years for murder.
Long held secrets come to light to change everything you thought you knew. Nothing is as it seems, and Hart will have you guessing until the bitter end.

Getting some bad vibes from the warden. Creep-o alert! 🚨🚨
Finally cooled off enough to go back outside. I'm trying to finish reading this one for book club so I can get back to reading The Fireman. The plot has finally picked up and tensions are mounting 😁. I'm about two-thirds of the way through. I think I know whodunnit 😮
My haul from my local bookstore (and library) yesterday. 📚 If you are ever in downtown Wake Forest, NC check out the antique shops and the awesome indy bookstore Page 158 Books. ❤️
pickThis book had me completely hooked by the end of the first chapter. Filled with morally ambiguous, damaged people fighting the various forces trying to bury them, plus some creepy bad guys and a serial killer on the loose, it had me totally engrossed in its blood-spattered pages. -Flannery
pickCharacter driven novel of betrayal and loss with believable and surprising twists. Hart is an excellent storyteller who can captivate an audience. Full review on www.novelgossip.com
pickReading slump broken! Entertaining mystery. Strong characters with a variety of plot lines that twist, turn and keep you guessing.
panI know, it's kind of pointless to review a book, based on if this could happen in real life, but this book takes it waayyyyy too far. It's just way too much. Too many topics, too many subplots, too much of everything. On top of all of this: the narrator really bothered me.
TBR Tuesday... This is my line up for the immediate future.
pickOne of my favorite books of the year. Hart is a master story teller.
