Title: The south rises again
Review: Michael Malone is a gifted, poetic writer who knows his turf & can immerse the reader into the southern environment and its characters. For these talents alone, his novels are enjoyable and worth reading.The mystery is presented intricately, but is too transparent [as did another reviewer, I knew the murderer at least 100 pages before the end of the novel]. But that did not distract from my interest in the characters.I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because I felt at times the language and sexual descriptions were a little too graphic for my taste. However, they were not inappropriate in context, and I admit to being on the old-fashioned side in those matters.
