The excellent Penn Cage Series by GregIles which incorporates the #NatchezBurning Trilogy. If you have not read it I can‘t recommend it highly enough. The series starts with the tagged book.

Until #AugustAuthors, I‘d never heard of this author, so I don‘t know anything about him or his works. This book, published in 1999, is the first in a series that I gather is quite good and popular.

I think he misspelled acknowledgement 🤣 or did I ? 🤷🏼‍♀️

I can definitely see why the Penn Cage series is popular, this was a really strong start! Maybe a smidge longer than it needed to be, but overall a really fascinating case. Not so much a "whodunnit" but more of a "how do I prove it" revolving around a cold case buried in the deep south, stoking major racial tension at the mere mention of it, and corrupt law enforcement who would rather let sleeping dogs lie. TW: the n word, though not gratuitous

I'm having surgery this week (don't worry, nothing serious and it's something I want) but I'll only have my Kindle on hand so I've been downloading new Kindle Unlimited and library books in preparation. These, amongst others. I know I won't have time to read them all but I'm hoping the options will help depending on what mood I'm in 😆

I LOVE this series. I am reading it a little out of order, as I already read the Natchez Burning trilogy (which technically is books 4-6, but you don‘t need to read the first three to be able to follow it). Penn Cage is a great protagonist. I love how this series involves so much history, particularly the racial and social climate of the South in the 60‘s. There are so many unpredictable twists in these books. Highly recommend. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ericalambbrown I just started Natchez Burning. My neighbors brought them over for me to borrow. I really like his writing style so far. 5y
amywithbooks @Ericalambbrown enjoy!! I read them at the beginning of the year and I couldn‘t put them down. Amazing story. 5y
Ericalambbrown @avgeyer I can‘t believe I‘d never heard of this writer before they brought the books to me. 5y
amywithbooks @Ericalambbrown I felt the same way! 5y
RJHowe Same with me. Feel for Natchez Burning now working through his amazing backlist. His life/publishing history is a thriller in itself. 5y

This is the first novel that Penn Cage is in. It‘s about a murder in Mississippi. A very good story that keeps the reader turning the pages.

Biscuits & Blues is a restaurant mention in The Quiet Game. It is a real place. I had to go eat there. I had crawfish and mushroom over a beignet . It may look a bit odd, but it was so tasty. It was on the starter portion of the menu. But, trust me, it was big enough for a whole lunch. #YumYumYum

night_shift Looks aren't everything! It sounds good - I'd try it! I think it would be cool to go to a place mentioned in a book :) 6y
LisaJo @UnidragonFrag I asked the waiter what he would recommend that I could not get somewhere else. And before he could answer, the customer sitting next to me, recommended this. He was spot in. Delicious!!! 6y
