Book is well-written and I’ll probably try reading Cosby’s other books, but boy is this rough to read!
Serious trigger warnings and what I’m putting in spoiler text is within first quarter of book.

Snuff films of teens being tortured and murdered. Very disturbing.

I don’t know if I could have handled listening to audiobook. Needed to take pretty frequent breaks from book as I approached the end. I found it more horror than mystery.

This book needs a SERIOUS trigger warning for child murder, child sexual assault, and violence. I read this because it was on Obama’s list of books from 2023. The story was excellent! Don’t get me wrong. Titus is a likable character who just wants to be a good sheriff and he is! The topics in this story are just so serious. I don’t think I would have read it if I had known. Reading through it though it was good and i loved figuring out who the killer was! Definitely a good story just very heavy.

Thrilling, mysterious and I couldn’t see any of it coming. I really enjoyed the ride. This author is someone who can weave in social commentary so beautifully with real life, gore, and small town life. He never misses. Highly recommend. The ending and whodunnit lost .25 for me because it felt not connected. But still, read this book!!!!
