All The Sinners Bleed by S.A. Cosby

S.A. Cosby does not mince words, tolerate racism or sugarcoat a history of violence in his native Virginia. His superpower against this hatred is the mighty pen and once again his words and story seep into your head and stay with you even as you shake your head in disbelief that the world can be so cruel. Former FBI Titus Crown is the first black sheriff in his small town and dealing with a horrific school shooting resulting in the death of a beloved white teacher by a black teen. When the shooter is gunned down this sets off a powder keg. Titus finds proof that the slain teacher was part of a ritual killing spree targeting black children he won't rest until all the these killers are found. Powerful, violent and a sad reminder that not all children are treasured. Titus is a spiritual man but whoever is carving bible quotes into the victims does not serve the same god. He is deeply attached to the town he grew up in and his family but this evil might just break him. Fans of his other books will read this in one sitting as will readers of Southern crime or horror like THE ANGEL MAKER. I listened to the audiobook and loved the narration whose voice is as smooth as sweet tea which got me through the violent parts.
