The Librarian's Husband's Book Club discussion

For our final book of the year, we’re diving into All the Sinners Bleed by S.A. Cosby—a Southern crime thriller that blends moral complexity, small-town secrets, and a sheriff caught between justice and the ghosts of his past.

Before you begin, what are you expecting from this tense, character-driven story? Are you anticipating sharp social commentary, a gripping mystery, or a blend of both?

Share your pre-read thoughts, predictions, or early questions below as we get ready to step into Charon County.

I read the summary of All the Sinners Bleed and it feels like a mixing pot filled with ingredients that don’t play nice together.

I had no wait at the library so I have this queued up. Also, last month’s Lisa Jewell book became available this week so I have a lot of reading to do!

During this surgical recovery I have been finding it very difficult to focus on books, which is not at all what I expected. Therefore my reviews might take longer than my usual time. But I will get there.

Happy Holiday Season

This will be the first S.A. Cosby novel I read (three of them on my want-to-read list, I guess I missed out on King of Ashes earlier this year), so I'm looking forward to getting introduced to Cosby's writing and characters and hoping for a good Criminal Minds-esque story.

Did you already have surgery? I thought it wasn't until Jan 20.

Yes, John. It was 11/20. I probably typed it wrong at some point.

Aahh. The other post said 1/20.

Hope recovery is going smoothly (aside from decreased focus on books)

Positive healing vibes, Julie.

I am expecting a rough world. Not that the world building by the author will be rough. Just expecting gritty and tough for the characters.
