Absolutely enthralling! I had never read anything by him before and absolutely loved it. I listened to the audiobook and loved it. The plot moves at a good pace. And tbh I think it would be an excellent tv series, in the right hands.

Author: S.A. Cosby
Started: April 26, 2024
Finished: April 29, 2024
Format: Digital & Audio
Genre: Thriller

Titus Crown is the first Black sheriff in a small, usually quiet, Virginia town. On the anniversary of his taking the Sheriff position, a school teacher is shot by a former student. When Titus begins to investigate, he discovers the horrible truth of the student/teacher relationship and they horrible things they have done along with another man. Titus must find the man to stop the bloodshed.

I've heard so much about this author and thought this would be a good book to start with.
I learned two things: Cosby is good for a slow burn thriller, and I get through his books faster on audio. This was also the first time that I started a book on my Kindle and finished it via audio. That being said, this was a really well-done story that offered a lot of unexpected backstory and a great mystery. While I felt the "aha" moment was a little obvious;  the story that went with it was unexpected. I enjoyed this novel and can't wait to read more from S.A. Cosby.
