All the Sinners Bleed

I very much liked the story despite the main crime of children being killed.  Cosby really made me understand and feel the ongoing racism in small Southern towns.  The main character, Sheriff Titus, was believable and I wanted him to succeed and overcome his past failures.  So, I would recommend this book but wish I could offer some suggestions to improve his future books.  First, I thought there were too many characters or too many that were not described adequately.  The bad guy totally comes out of the blue, not preferable for a mystery where the reader is always trying to figure out who done it.  Doesn’t seem like 3 sadistic people working together in such a small town is realistic, especially mixed races in a rural Southern town.
