Cosby has created a gripping and gruesome story – perhaps a bit too grizzly for some readers of the queasy kind. His masterful writing brings the characters to life in credible and engaging ways – although I could have lived with a slightly smaller cast. As he cunningly builds a story about a Black sheriff in a small southern town that is ravaged by brutal serial killings, Cosby explores race relations, inequities in the criminal justice system and the life-changing impacts on family trauma. It's a well-paced and intriguing read. This is an engaging thriller about a sleepy small town in Virginia, where a man with a gun walks into a school and kills a teacher. It soon becomes clear that there is a serial killer in town, the the Black town sheriff has to track him down. Race plays an important role in the book: the murders reveal some racial tensions and exacerbate others. If you are a sensitive reader, be wary: some of the murders are very gruesome, and there is also a lot of child abuse. This is well-written, the main characters are interesting, the pacing is good, the examination of race is interesting.... but for me, I'm not sure the payoff was worth having all of those gruesome details seared into my brain. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Cosby is an author who does a lot more than just write an entertaining crime thriller. Here, he sheds light on how tradition and habit have imbedded racism into the fabric of a small town's culture and how hard the pushback is to any sort of move towards equality. His portrayal of the people of this small town is clear-eyed and sharp, without ever descending into stereo-type or caricature. Titus is perhaps a little too perfect and too often right, but he's a complex and interesting character. It feels like we may see more of him in future novels and I would be happy to see what he does next. The crimes at the center of this mystery are particularly grim and while the descriptions are not graphic, they were still hard to read. I read Cosby's first novel and it's clear he becomes better with every book he writes and that he still has a great deal to say. ( )
