From the first chapter, I was engrossed in Cosby's writing style as I watched Sheriff Titus Crown don his uniform, badge, radio, and gun. He was quickly called to Jefferson Davis High School and came face-to-face with an active shooter. The story evolved as threads were unraveled to reveal that one of Charon's own might be a serial killer. Unfortunately for me, the suspense simply did not extend past the first few chapters. There was a lot of talk of the townspeople's political and religious views, and I found this to be entirely distracting from the race to find the Last Wolf. I did not find myself thinking about this book when I wasn't reading it, and I wasn't dying to pick it up every free moment I got. I think this is one of those rare instances where a television show might be better than the book. Sorry, Cosby!

"The statement hung in the air between them, ensconced within Cam's unspoken assumptions. There had been a bad man who had shot a good man, then other good men had killed the bad man. What more was there to talk about? Titus wished it were that simple. He really did."
