The review is well written and organized. I may not prefer this type of stories because of the violence it contains. But I appreciate the plot based on showing racism and the search for justice. I think the story shows a part of society that many people don't want to see. Congrats on BOTD

"Southern Justice" by Terrance J. Aldridge is a book whose plot begins in 1961. The grandparents of Mario Jacobs were killed when an intoxicated white man ran into them with his truck. By the way, Mario and his family are black and everything happens in Duncan, Mississippi.

Mario Jacobs in Terrance J. Aldridge's "Southern Justice" must be highly commended for his empathy towards his grieving parents while he was also mournng his grandparents' sudden demise, and, his courage and determination to find their killers. I personally think that the play of racism here is "synonymous" to jealousy as the Blacks can endure any condition without breaking. They would rather die than break! As for the racists, I'm curious about the colour of their blood that makes them feel superior. Is it also white? Congrats on BOTD. Nice review.

'Official Review: Southern Justice' by Terrance J. Aldridge presents the relevant details of the mystery tale. It gives an idea of the intriguing plot. This is the story of Mario Jacobs, a mild-tempered, twenty-six-year-old black man, well-trained in martial arts. Readers would come across a politically charged mystery. Also, the book focuses on racism, corruption, and abuse. Finally, this suspenseful story portrays the protagonist's courage and perseverance!

Thank you for your insightful review on "Southern Justice" by Terrance J. Aldridge. This suspenseful and fast-moving novel focuses on the racism, corruption, and abuse Mario’s family and friends suffered at the hands of the white people in Duncan. Mario’s gentle care for his grieving parents and relentless pursuit of justice for his late grandparents made him one of my favorite characters. This book is temporarily free on Amazon and I have put it on my shelf to read. Congratulations to the author for BOTD.

There's something so interesting about small-town dynamics! How sad, though, that racism is not an issue we left back in the 60s when this book take place. Thank you for your review.

Southern justice by Terrace J. Aldridge is particularly interesting and intriguing. This novel is relatively similar in recent times in some part of the world. I like fact that we got to know that Mario persevered in unfolding the reason for the death of his grandparents amongst all odds but will the perpetrators of such injustice be punished according to law? Read to find out!!

This review is comprehensive and well-balanced, highlighting both the book's strengths and its challenging content. It effectively praises the story’s portrayal of courage and the exceptional audiobook narration while acknowledging the disturbing elements. The nuanced critique ensures readers are informed about potential triggers. A thoughtful recommendation for fans of politically charged, suspenseful fiction.

Mario not only represents the fight for justice, but also the human ability to overcome pain and find purpose in the midst of adversity. His determination and bravery make you reflect on the importance of facing injustice, no matter how difficult the path is.

Mario's courage and perseverance in the face of danger are admirable. Narratives about the horrors of racial injustice always gall me. I hope Mario will succeed in his investigation of his grandparents' murder. I commend you on an informative review and look forward to completing this book.

"Southern Justice" by Terrance J. Aldridge.

So far I am liking what I have read, even though reading about racism usually ruffles my feathers, the detective in me is eager to see the outcome, and to know if justice will be served. The 1960 era where the story took place is intriguing to see how things were back then. It's sad however that we are still dealing with racism in this day and age

Racism and corruption in the South. I don't like reading books like this. Especially living in the South where there is still so much Racism. Female what I read so far, a family is out to get justice for their 2 family members that were murdered in car wreck. Mario and his parents head out in search of justice for his father's parents.
