Review: The Color of Justice by Ace Collins

About the book:

1964

Justice, Mississippi, is a town divided. White and black. Rich and

poor. Rule makers and rule breakers. Right or wrong, everyone assumes

their place behind a fragile façade that is about to crumble.  When

attorney Coop Lindsay agrees to defend a black man accused of murdering a

white teenager, the bribes and death threats don’t intimidate him. As

he prepares for the case of a lifetime, the young lawyer knows it’s the

verdict that poses the real threat—innocent or guilty, because of his

stand Coop is no longer welcome in Justice. As he follows his

conscience, he wonders just how far some people will go to make sure he

doesn’t finish his job?

2014

To some, the result of the trial still feels like a fresh wound even

fifty years later, when Coop’s grandson arrives in Justice seeking

answers to the questions unresolved by the trial that changed his

family’s legacy. When a new case is presented, again pitting white

against black, this third generation Lindsay may have the opportunity he

needs to right the wrongs of the past. 

But hate destroys everything it touches, and the Lindsay family will not escape unscathed.

My thoughts:

The Color of Justice was a fantastic read! I ended up listening to the audiobook I borrowed from the library instead of reading my e-review copy and it was such a good listen! The narrator was amazing.

I was drawn into the story right away and I loved how it was written. I kept trying to figure out what the truth was and, I've got to say, the ending SHOCKED me!

All in all, The Color of Justice was a great read and I recommend it to fans of mysteries.
