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...
