5 stars are not enough for a book so far ahead of all the other thrillers being written today, it's off the charts. Beautifully written, complicated, perfectly fleshed-out characters, a tense, nail-biting narrative from start to end. I cannot say enough about how fantastic this book is. I read this on audio, which I highly encourage, as the narrator is so spectacular! If you are a fan of Criminal Minds, this book is definitely for you. Or if you want a gorgeous story about the real life race issues in the American South today from an author with the voice to tell it right, you need to read this book!

I had a little trouble with the writing at first, but quickly got sucked into Titus' perspective and the town of Charon. He was such an interesting and complex character and it was an unique experience to read this story through his eyes considering the themes it addressed.

The mystery was introduced with a bang and, despite some very predictable twists, kept me engaged until the very end. There were a lot of threads to tie together and the way the plot progressed and developed made it so each step towards a resolution was dealt with and added depth to the book. I can't say I enjoyed the ending, but it served to wrap up everything and give it a solid conclusion.
