Potential readers can make educated selections thanks to the helpful notice regarding triggering content.

Great review! The book sounds like it has a powerful story to tell. I grew up in the 60's, but I could never understand racism. I'll have to pick up a copy and read it. Thanks for the review!

This politically charged mystery novel seems geared toward fans of crime fiction and adult action thrillers. It addresses the issue of racism through the story of Mario, a young man who decides to investigate the death of his grandparents. Sounds intriguing!

Terrance J. Aldridge's "Southern Justice" is a gripping novel set in 1961, highlighting Mario Jacobs' courageous pursuit of justice after his grandparents' tragic deaths. Narrator Scott LeCote excels in delivering this powerful story of racism, resilience, and determination. Congrats BOTD!

In the racially divided town of Duncan, Mississippi, a dark tragedy shaped the life of Mario Jacobs, a 26-year-old Black man known for his calm demeanor and skill in martial arts. Years ago, his grandparents became victims of a brutal act of racial violence when a group of drunken white men forced their car off the road, causing a fatal crash. For Mario, this event is more than a family tragedy—it’s a wound left untreated by a justice system that turned a blind eye. Now, Mario sets out to uncover the truth behind their deaths, facing a past filled with pain and a future fraught with uncertainty. Will his determination and strength be enough to bring justice to his family?

"Southern Justice" by Terrance J. Aldridge seems like a riveting novel. I'm curious to see how Mario discovers the truth about his grandparents' murder and how he ultimately seeks justice for them.

Mario investigates the murder of his grandparents in a small town. The themes of racism and brutal acts serve as a reminder of the 2020 incident. This is a story of courage and the pursuit of justice. The writing and pacing is great. I added this to my reading list. Great review!

The problems Mario and other Black members of Duncan's community face due to prejudice and abuse are highlighted in Terrance J. Aldridge's Southern Justice. The story's raw intensity and emotional depth are indisputable. Reading about these events feels more intimate and powerful, even if I typically prefer viewing stories that are motivated by justice. It looks like this book will be interesting and thought-provoking.

Great review. It will be interesting to see how Mario will get to the bottom of the case involving his grandparents and hopefully get the culprit to face justice even if he belongs to the white people. It will also be educational to read on racism and how it affects people and stand up against racism.

I tend to steer clear of books with strong themes of racism, violence and sexual abuse. It's just too triggering for me. But somehow appreciate the well-written review of this book, the writer seems to have enjoyed most of the book(except the aforementioned parts). Mario's story and struggle is one many black people go through most of the time.

Southern Justice by Olga Markova, is an action-packed fiction thriller in the town of Duncan where justice is not blind. Mario Jacobs took it upon himself to investigate the unaccounted murderers and missing black people. It is a great read for action and investigation readers.
