S.A. Cosby can take tropes of thrillers and make them deeper, darker, and more compelling. A tangled web of morality, Christianity, identity, secrets, and the many forms of violence in a society. This was the first thriller to make me cry.

4.0

This book is very good but very heavy. If you love thrillers you definitely should read it. 

My thoughts:
1. The audiobook narrator was perfect for the characters. He did a great job. 
2. I feel like there is something left unsatisfied with this book, but I think it’s supposed to feel like that though. It’s got a sense of melancholy to the ending. 
3. This isn’t a book where you’ll guess who did it. You find out along with the MC which I kind of liked. 
4. The commentary on race and religion is excellent.
