King Craft’s Book Club Pick. Not a book I would have picked up on my own, but was enthralled nonetheless. S.A. Crosby is able to weave historical facts and current day issues into a fictional town on the verge of a breakdown. I found myself staying awake later than usual to find out “who dun it.” While I was enthralled throughout the book there were several parts where I felt removed from the story. These mostly included moments with Darlene or Kelli.

Excellent writing. Thoughtful and nuanced portrayal of police role in violence. Pretty tight plot that doesn't get bogged down in the procedurals of police work, but does follow Titus (the Sheriff) in his own deliberations.

Ever since I listened to the audiobook for RAZORBLADE TEARS, narrated by Adam Lazarre-White, last year, I knew I wanted to go the audiobook route for all of S.A. Cosby's books I read, as long as Adam narrates them. His deep, gritty voice lends itself so well to the stories S.A. Cosby writes. There were very heavy topics that the author does not shy away from discussing in this book, some of which are, unfortunately, current and prevalent in society today, such as race and religion. You should go into this knowing there is quite a bit of gore and graphic violence and I would strongly suggest looking up content warnings. The story was also a detailed police procedural and I would have liked more suspense and shock factor.
