wombatnation 's review for:
Mississippi Mud: Southern Justice and the Dixie Mafia
by Edward Humes
Having grown up in Biloxi, I couldn't possibly not read this book about murder and intrigue practically in my backyard. Literally. The Sherry's house in which they were murdered is just a few blocks away from the house I grew up in. I also went to high school with the son of Mike Gillich. Now I understand where the money came from that allowed his son to drive a Jaguar to school every day. The FBI agent was the husband of one of my English teachers. The mayor who was unjustly accused gave me a dictionary for high school graduation and helped me get a summer job. I'm good friends with a relative of one of the people who was murdered.
Although most enjoyable if you know some of the people and the setting, I think Mississippi Mud would still be an enjoyable non-fiction thriller for many other readers. It's been a bit too long since I've read it to provide much more in the way of details.
