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.

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.
