//
my very first S.A Cosby book has been completed! I have been wanting to read from this author for awhile. I got it from my local library. <b>(support local libraries) </b>
As per the synopsis, this is a story about a black sheriff in a southern town drowning in a VERY questionable and bloody history whose trying to hunt down a serial killer. There was no plot twist in this story and the reveal of the killer didn't do anything for me. But, the overall story I really enjoyed. Titus, who is the main character, did not annoy me and I found myself actually liking him <i>(with the exception of his love life which I found to be an unnecessary part of the story no matter how small it was, but that's just me.)</i>
I've never been a mystery/thriller lover but I do have the urge to delve into this genre this year. And, I was not disappointed. Now, while I was not wowed by this book it did make me an active participate to it. I found myself rolling my eyes, exclaiming disbelief, and read to fight some of these characters. If a book can make me do all of that, it's very likely a good damn book.
*At first this was going to be a 3.5 star but the middle part of this book bumped it up to a 4.*
