Razorblade Tears
by S.A. Cosby
***Shortlisted for the 2022 Edgar Allan Poe Awards***
***Shortlisted for the 2022 CWA Gold Dagger***
If you loved S.A Cosby’s last book, Blacktop Wasteland, you’ll enjoy this one. The characters are different, but the chief protagonists are again ex-cons, sucked back to the dark side by circumstances beyond their control. You, the reader, will again wish them well as they commit gruesome murders. As a mystery, however, this latest book, Razorblade Tears, is much more satisfying: it’s driven along not only by memorable characters but also by the plot.
Recommendations from our site
“Razorblade Tears is a moody Southern thriller with fast-paced action, the story of two men—one black, one white, both ex-cons—who team together to solve the murder of their sons, who were married to one another. It’s a gritty tale that looks into questions of race, poverty, and other bias through the lens of both violence and compassion.” Read more...
