📖 All the Sinners Bleed by S.A. Cosby 

“We all choose to be skeptics when the truth is inconvenient.”

Rating: 5 stars ⭐️ 
Spice: N/A

One of my goals for 2024 is to read more genres, so I chose this book based off its description as a mystery/thriller with high reviews…

WOW. This gritty novel had my heart pounding. It was truly incredible.

Let’s Review: 
👀 Police-procedural thriller
🚔 MC is the first black sheriff in a small town
💔 School shooting reveals the town’s dark underbelly of abuse
🫣 Compelling, intense writing with a quick pace 
☑️ Themes of racial injustice and grief

⚠️TW: severe child abuse/murder

This is my first novel by Cosby, and it will not be the last. The way he portrayed Titus (the main character) with all of his intricacies and relationships was beautifully constructed. 

Be prepared: This story is gory and dark and heavy… but it is worth reading. And I highly recommend it!
