My Darkest Prayer by S.A. Cosby is a re-release of his first novel. "Nathan Waymaker is a former marine and former deputy. He works with his cousin at the funeral home and knows how to get rid of a body. After a local reverend is found dead, an elder of his church asked Nathan to look into the pastor's death because the sheriff does not seem interested in finding out what really happened. Nathan starts asking questions and soon finds that there are many who want the real reason kept quiet." This is gritty crime fiction from Cosby. There is lots of violence, murder and sex. Nathan Waymaker is a man with violence bubbling just below the surface. It doesn't take much of a threat to turn him loose. He feels like a precursor to Ike/Riot in Razorblade Tears. (There's even a Plymouth Fury reference) And there's a cast of big characters - like Skunk and Shade and Rev Short. Sometimes you can tell this is a first novel (never use a big word when a small one will do) but Cosby's gift is putting the reader in the story. You can see and smell and hear everything going on. The narrator, Adam Lazarre-White, is phenomenal. His big voice is perfect for this story and these characters. Fans of Cosby or edgy crime fiction will enjoy this book. #mydarkestprayer #sacosby #macmillanaudio #audiobooks #adamlazarrewhite #2023rerelease #bookstagram #bookshelves #booknerd #readinglife #bookphotography #bookcommunity #bookblogger #sodacityreads #suspensebook #bookhaul #literarycrimefiction #homelibrary #thrillerbooks #domesticthriller #crimefiction #thriller #characterdrivenbooks #mysterythriller #bookrecs #grittycrimefiction https://www.instagram.com/p/ClbO4F6L6zV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
