A Black sheriff. A serial killer. A small town ready to combust.

“An atmospheric pressure cooker.” —People
Titus Crown is the first Black sheriff in the history of Charon County, Virginia. In recent decades, quiet Charon has had only two murders. But after years of working as an FBI agent, Titus knows better than anyone that while his hometown might seem like a land of moonshine, cornbread, and honeysuckle, secrets always fester under the surface.
Then a year to the day after Titus’s election, a school teacher is killed by a former student and the student is fatally shot by Titus’s deputies. As Titus investigates the shootings, he unearths terrible crimes and a serial killer who has been hiding in plain sight, haunting the dirt lanes and woodland clearings of Charon.
With the killer’s possible connections to a local church and the town’s harrowing history weighing on him, Titus projects confidence about closing the case while concealing a painful secret from his own past. At the same time, he also has to contend with a far-right group that wants to hold a parade in celebration of the town’s Confederate history.
Charon is Titus’s home and his heart. But where faith and violence meet, there will be a reckoning.
Powerful and unforgettable, All the Sinners Bleed confirms S. A. Cosby as “one of the most muscular, distinctive, grab-you-by-both-ears voices in American crime fiction” (The Washington Post).
Review
Titus is the first black sheriff in his county. It is usually a quiet county with very little happenings. So, when there is an active shooter at the high school, Titus relies on his FBI training. But, as the investigation starts to unfold, Titus realizes he has a possible serial killer on his hands.
Talk about an intricate thriller with fantastic intensity and wonderful characters! And this author’s phrasing is so dang good. There is so much that he says in between the lines. And he is so intelligent and it comes out in all his stories. I love his book references and the way his character, Titus’, has some common sense. A lot of times an author fails to portray that area of intelligence in their characters. Not S. A. Cosby. Titus pushes back and uses his strengths to get the job done!
To say I love this author is an understatement! I listened to My Darkest Prayer earlier this year. I was hooked!
This is one book in which I recommend listening to. This narrator, Adam Lazarre-White, is outstanding!
