A well crafted novel that was a continuous page turner wanting to find out more. I did guess the big bad guy reveal midway through but still enjoyed it. I have a minor gripe with the story because it sucks the two ex con dads need the death of their gay sons to finally accept them and love who they were that they refused to understand while they were alive. The growth and depictions of homophobia and especially within the black community is very well portrayed by Cosby but I just wish it was not catalyzed by gay death. Very satisfying revenge murder mystery though and would recommend if you like a murder mystery/thriller redemption story. Very graphic violence though as a CW.
