All the Sinners Bleed by S.A. Cosby
4.5
**rounding up from a 4.5**
SA Cosby is an auto buy author for me and I truly think he is brilliant. No other author portrays the south quite like he does, bringing difficult characters to life & even generating sympathy for individuals I’d normally just scoff at.
Sinners is no exception; I think Titus Crown might be my favorite main character in a Cosby book. His struggles with guilt, loss of faith, and desire for justice were really well written, and I especially loved the relationship he had with his ultra religious father.
I do think this is one of Cosby’s heavier books, and would recommend looking at trigger warnings if you tend to be sensitive about crime novels. Cosby handles it really well, but the content of the book is certainly one that will stick with you.
I found some parts of this book to be a bit repetitive, but it wasn’t too big of a deal. A lot of it was meant to reinforce the themes of guilt & loss of faith, and were important parts of Crown’s character.
Ultimately, this was another slam dunk from Cosby. I love living in a world where he is writing books! Can’t wait to see what he gives us next.
