All The Sinners Bleed: the new thriller from the award-winning author of RAZORBLADE TEARS

Titus Crown, an honest hardworking Black Sheriff is called to a local school shoot out. The series of events that unfold leads him question the otherwise presumed safe city. Not before long he discovers that there is a serial killer amongst the very city he has grown up in and it just might be someone who he knows already. The plot unfolds as he starts connecting the clues, and discovers some gruesome details. This my first Cosby book, I thought it certainly had all the elements a Crime thriller requires. Action packed layered with ruthlessness and sprinkled with some family warmth and just a dash of romance. The background/setting is perfect as the murders crack into the scene. The characters are well sketched, especially Titus Crown. The language and flow seamless throughout. Although I thought there were parts the pace slackened especially in the beginning. Otherwise a really good crime thriller with the right amount of chills and mystery.

This book is good! The action. The suspense. The grit and the intensity. You will get it all in this one. Trigger warnings for graphic description of crime scene and victims. We are looking for a sadistic killer who’s killing innocent kids. We have a very determined main lead who’s going to reveal who this person is and he knows he’s someone close to his community. I love the writing. There’s no dull moment in the entire book and this is what kept me going. There are a few emotional moments which left me crying. However, I was expecting a lot more towards the end. A kind of closure for the victims. I didn’t get it but this one is a good story!

Titus Crowne, the inaugural African American sheriff of Charon County in Virginia, takes center stage in this captivating tale. After a successful stint with the FBI, Titus makes a heartfelt decision to return to his roots for various personal reasons. Fueled by a burning desire to bring about positive change, he courageously runs for sheriff, aiming to transform his community for the greater good. Despite encountering numerous challenges along the way, Titus and his team manage to make significant progress. However, tragedy strikes on the one-year anniversary of his election when a devastating school shooting shakes their tight-knit community to its core. In the aftermath of the tragic incident, Titus, who is familiar with the shooter, advocates for an internal investigation despite the presence of numerous witnesses. Recognizing the importance of seeking the truth, he delves into the backgrounds of both the teacher and the former student. Little does Titus and his department know, their pursuit of justice uncovers a shocking revelation - the seemingly flawless teacher was actually a monstrous abuser, leaving them to confront a complex and unsettling situation. Titus truly embodies the essence of a remarkable protagonist. With a multitude of admirable traits, he remains relatable as a flawed human being who grapples with self-doubt and challenges. Nevertheless, his unwavering determination to make ethical choices is truly commendable. Titus is the kind of character that captivates your heart and leaves you rooting for his success. This book is absolutely captivating, filled with a gripping storyline, intense action, profound themes, and a conclusion that balances humor and wit, reminiscent of the main character, Titus. It provokes deep thoughts, leaving readers feeling unsettled, melancholic, and contemplative. Really loved writing style of the author.

Este es uno de esos libros que te hacen preguntarte: "¿Por qué estoy leyendo esto?" Y luchas hasta el final, y sigue empeorando, hasta que termina, y el malo está muerto, y no tienes la más remota idea de por qué hizo todas esas cosas malas, porque acabas de encontrarlo, a 5 páginas del final. La historia es derivada y la prosa es muy pesada. Personalmente, me gusta leer novelas literarias, pero me encanta leer de vez en cuando alguna novela criminal, digamos, de Elmore Leonard, Michael Connelly, Higgens, Mendoza, Camilleri... pero a veces pruebo con algo nuevo, normalmente atraída por un precio bajo y buenas opiniones y, ocasionalmente, todo funciona bien. Pero esta vez, no. Mi más sincero consejo es... evita a este autor.

英文は読みにくいがなんとか読んだ。主人公は黒人の警察署長（？）でじわじわと残虐なシリアルキラーを追い詰めていく。あと、脇役で、パトリシアコーンウェルの『検視官』じゃないけど、検視官が登場する。この女性がアジア系でケイスカーペッタとはまた対照的なキャラで興味深かった。

Another wonderful book from the super talented S.A. Cosby. It is a pretty heavy book as far as the subject and story of the book, but it is wonderfully written and well worth a read. From the great description of the locations, to the great characters, to the fantastic story that is being told, it all had me picturing how these all would look right away. The basics of the story is that it is about a Sheriff from Charon County Virginia who has to deal with a teacher being shot by a student at a school. It morphs into a story about a Serial Killer being on the loose and so much more. I don't want to spoil to much so I won't say to many more details, just that it is so well written and you should check it out. After I finished the last pages last night I was thinking about everything that went on in the book, but the main characters family, to his lady, to the cops that worked with him, to the nasty stuff that they are investigating (it goes much deeper than just a story about a Serial Killer or a teacher getting shot). I really would love a TV Show made about this book, even just a mini series of 8 episodes or so would do. It reminded me at times of Season 1 of True Detective (And to be honest, was closer to Season 1 than any of the other later seasons of that show), it really would make a wonderful show, I can already picture certain scenes when big things in the story happy and same goes for the locations and characters, I already have been thinking what they all would look like. Do yourself a favor and pick up this book, just be warned that it does touch on some very heavy and intense subject matter, so be ready and in the right mind frame. Yes it touches on intense/heavy elements but S.A. Cosby does it all so well and weaves his magic throughout the whole book and does this type of subject matter so very well. I enjoyed Blacktop Wasteland to and loved this book and have ordered his other stuff, give this extremely talented writer a chance and he will have you turning page after page late into the night, or like me the last few days as I got towards the end, reading while I was eating my dinner, while I was in the washroom and while I was in bed, superb book and I can't wait to see what this writer has in store for us for his next one.

This was my first S A Cosby read and it did not disappoint! It was a real page turned and I just couldn’t wait to keep reading it to find out what was going to happen next. Great story, great writing.

I have not rated a thriller/mystery this high since I first got back into reading (when I thought everything was amazing 🤣) Simply exquisite. So brilliantly written. I cannot stress highly enough just how great SA Cosby’s prose is. The characters are multi layered and I deeply cared about their well being. That’s so rare in a thriller where normally plot overtakes any kind of character development. Titus is a gem and I won’t easily forget him. Speaking of plot; don’t for a minute think that this takes a backseat. The whole mystery is excellent with just the right amount of cliffhangers and the puzzle coming together is edge of your seat stuff. Just be warned there is some f***ed up stuff in here so research the book before diving in. Big fan of this author now and will immediately read his other books. Seriously under hyped (author and book), do yourself a favour and pick this up right NOW!
