Preston Black is back for another trip to the crossroads! This is the third book in the Murder Ballads and Whiskey series,and I'm always happy when I get to spend time with these characters. Miller doesn't simply tell a story. He immerses readers in the characters' world. His writing sparks all the senses, so that I hear, taste, smell, see, and feel everything along with the characters.

Preston Black's world is filled with music and the supernatural. The plot is intricate without being overly complicated. Some profound issues are tackled here, all expertly woven into the story.

* I highly recommend reading the first two books in this series before reading this book. The story of Revelations of Preston Black closely follows The Devil and Preston Black and Hellbender, drawing on much of the characters' background and history. A reader might feel a little lost if this book was read as a stand-alone. * ( )
