Mississippi Mud

Southern Justice and the Dixie Mafia

By: Edward Humes

Narrated by: Alex Paul

Now updated with explosive courtroom details...

The riveting true-crime account of the heartbreaking murder that shook a Southern city to its corrupt foundation

Biloxi, Mississippi: After the fatal shooting of one of the city’s most prominent couples - Vincent Sherry was a circuit court judge; his wife, Margaret, was running for mayor - their grief-stricken daughter came home to uncover the truth behind the crime that shocked a community and to follow leads that police seemed unable or unwilling to pursue. What Lynne Sposito soon discovered were bizarre connections to the Dixie Mafia, a predatory band of criminals who ran The Strip, Biloxi’s beachfront hub of sex, drugs, and sleaze. Armed with a savvy private eye - and a .357 Magnum - Lynne bravely entered a teeming underworld of merciless killers, ruthless con men, and venal politicians in order to bring her parents’ assassins to justice.

Great story

I actually grew up around Biloxi, and remember when the story was in the news. It was interesting to learn more about the history of the place. I grew up in, and some of these names and places were extremely familiar. I have just completed the new book boys from Biloxi by John Grisham, and that led me to listening to this book.

absolutely insane

the fact that this is a true story is INSANE. You have to read it. You can Google these people during the story and see thr actual faces.. jusy adds to the story.

Intriguing Story

As a fan of True Crime the Dixie Mafia seems widely underreported and this is ana amazing story

Must read in paperback, narrator is terrible

Amazing story I first heard about when one of the brothers spoke on a call in segment of my local radio station. Mississippi Mud is a *MUST READ* about small town politics and real crime drama. I will not spoil details, but this is a wild ride.

However, the narrator of this particular recording is dreadful and distressingly bad. Sadly, this is a "*MUST READ* (in paperback only)".

amazing!!!

the writing is impeccable. I enjoyed listening to the audiobook so much. The narrator did a great a great job.

I had no idea about this case but I am moving to a town near Biloxi, MS and I'm a bug history buff and wanted to find books on the area to learn of it and it's culture to make the move from eat coast to gulf coast a little easier. I had not expected this to be as convoluted as it was. Still very easy to follow though.

I caught myself sobbing the first time with overwhelmed emotion when Lynne hugged Kelly and once more when Lynne shook Mike's hand. She's a strong and amazing woman. 👏
