A review by hpnyknits
Lightning Men by Thomas Mullen

5.0

Mullen maintained the historical crime book angle, in the second book of the series, with story lines that end up tied together. Examining the moral code each person has, and where does each of us draws the line. Examining race relations, customs vs morals, economic and class tensions, all within this small area of Atlanta. The racist attitudes and customs are painful to listen to, and yet are crucial to the development of the story and the characters.
The book feels timely and relevant to today’s headlines, as racial tension is still a thing in America.
The narrator of the audiobook is excellent.
