The Heathens by Ace Atkins

5.0

I love these books. The writing is excellent and every book despite having the usual cast of characters (Quinn, Boom, Lillie) they introduce the people that the new book revolves around. This book is about the disappearance and death of TJ Byrd's mother. TJ is accused of the crime and goes on the run with her boyfriend and little brother. A liquor store owner, a couple of roofers, and the infamous Johnny Stagg are involved too.

The writing, characters, and dialogue are great. Lillie Virgil is always my favorite for attitude and dialogue.
