I think the slow pace in the book turned me off from the story for some time. I thought about dropping the book a few times but I continued.
I did enjoy the last few pages.
Would I read it again? No. Would I recommend it? To some people.
I wouldn't mind trying out this author again.

Please read trigger warnings before diving into this one.
S. A. Cosby does a wonderful job describing the town and the tension that Titus (sheriff) has to navigate through. However, there were a few plot holes for me on this one. He introduces tons of characters some who do not have anything to do with the major crime that is being investigated. I also wanted to know more about the connection of the actual criminals once they were uncovered. He left too many loose ends for me.
Regardless I felt this book was just ok.
