The Broken Places

By: Ace Atkins

Narrated by: Brian d'Arcy James

A year after becoming sheriff, Quinn Colson is faced with the release of an infamous murderer from prison. Jamey Dixon comes back to Jericho preaching redemption, and some believe him; but for the victim’s family, the only thought is revenge. Another group who doesn’t believe him - the men in prison from Dixon’s last job, an armored car robbery. They’re sure he’s gone back to grab the hidden money, so they do the only thing they can: break out and head straight to Jericho themselves. Colson and his deputy, Lillie, know they’ve got their work cut out for them. But they don’t count on one more unwelcome visitor: a tornado that causes havoc just as events come to a head. Communications are down, the roads are impassable - and the rule of law is just about to snap.

Good Story

Good story and execution of the audio book. Development of the characters was well done.

I’m loving following the characters.

I like both the story and the narrator. I live in the south so some of this rings SO true!

Bounced back

The 3rd installment of the series bounces back and is better than the second. I have to say the narrator is not as good as previous one.

Ace Atkins does it again.

The Sheriff Quinn Colson novels have become one of our favorite novels. The right mix of drama and humor.

Quinn Colson Book 3 - All Hell Breaks Lose

The 3rd installment in Ace Atkins’ Quinn Colson series takes place a year after Colson is elected Sheriff I’d Tibbahah County, and has to deal with escapees from Parchman Farm prison, a pardoned murderer turned preacher living with his sister and nephew, and a natural disaster. Well told story that, disappointingly, ends with a cliffhanger. Excellently read by Brian D’Arcy James, who also read the 1st two books in the series.
