Reviewed kindle edition By Autumn Fallen Over Book Reviews I received this book via NetGalley.This was a really good book far better than I expected it to be.This is a short book filled with sadness.We started off the book with some white men picking up a young African-american who we learn is named Graden, And as the story progresses we learn that Graden was murdered and the people accused walk away free. But Graden's brother Warren can not let his death go with out justice. The Williams lived in the sixties and knew what horrors awaited African-american's so when Graden's death came about you know it tore this family up. Warren is not close to his family as he blames himself for the death of his brother and we later on find out why he does. We watch as Warren drifts along getting justice for his brother and he catches the last man who is living and not behind bars. But this man's account is different and one I was not expecting we learn what happened that night of Graden's death and I don't think Warren was expecting it either. We go back and forth between times from the sixties and when Warren is looking for justice, and I enjoyed that as it was not confusing at all. It gave us back story on the William's.This was a very touching book and I could feel for the characters in some way.The only problems I had with the story is 1. how were the white men caught? I know it may not have been something major but I felt as though the story could have elaborated on it.2. Towards the end when we meet Earl I would have liked to have known it was Earl's point of view we were being told about. It was like we were in Warren's P.O.V. and bam in Earl's or well under his "hiding" name and I had to go back and re-read it. And anyone who has read my reviews knows I do not like to have to go back and re-read to make sure I did not miss something.Other than those two things the book was a great read and touched a subject that can pull on your heart strings of how people were treated back in the day.

An absorbing and nuanced Civil Rights era thriller By Craig M Sisterson An absorbing novel centred on the civil rights era in the American South, and the impacts of that violent and troubled time on people involved in the half century since. Canadian Shreve writes in an assured fashion, bringing to life both the 1960s and modern times as we follow the story of young black activist Graden Williams and his older brother Warren.As Warren searches for answers to why a horrific atrocity occurred back in the 1960s, Shreve gives us a confronting look at what life was like behind what we see in the history books. ONE NIGHT IN MISSISSIPPI is reminiscent of excellent films like Ghosts of Mississippi and Mississippi Burning, while still being a unique, thought-provoking story in its own right. Shreve does a great job at unpicking some of the layers beneath the headlines and historical footnotes, and makes us care about characters that are very human, and full of shades of grey.

By deb I'm actually giving this 4 1/2 stars, but not every site I post on allows that capability.What a good read. It was a sad, sad theme, but I was definitely entertained and truly felt for the characters. It was well written and definitely kept me interested. Written as a story during a terrible time in the south in our country's history when a horrible injustice was done. Then with a somewhat present day account of what a brother was willing to do for his murdered brother and why.At only 200 pages, it was a short read but a very poignant one and I'm glad I got the chance to read and review it. Thanks Dundurn and Net Galley for providing me with this free e-galley in exchange for an honest review.
