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).

"A drama/thriller, All the Sinners Bleed kicks off with a (ripped-from-TODAY’s-headlines) school shooting, which then spirals into something even darker and more disturbing. Small town Sheriff Crown battles his own demons and personal issues as he and his team race to find a murderous lunatic as the body count stacks up.
Recommend! Started following this author after he wrote Razorblade Tears, another memorable read. "
"Now that's a good book. The perception and experience of anti-black racism were spot on. The story was so captivating there were spots that I paused reading bc I realized I was getting closer to the end. It would make an exciting movie or show."

"Excellent mystery with a five-star lead character, Titus Crown, a Black sheriff in rural Virginia searching for a gruesome murderer as he copes with his honor as a law man, with Black and White hopes and slights around race and the confederacy, and with religious fervor of locals. Titus is a great character with an unerring moral compass. I hope to read more of him. The book has a whiff of Season 1 True Detectives in the sordidness of the crimes and the commitment of the sheriff."
"I had never read anything by SA Cosby before, but had seen reviews by some of my favorite bookish influencers that included him. When I saw this book on kindle unlimited, I immediately downloaded it. I loved this book. I thought it was a great thriller with meaningful and well written social commentary. This is something that I haven’t found in many thriller/mysteries as I feel like they either lean too hard in one way or the other. I thought the writing was beautiful and I will absolutely be reading more by SA Cosby."
