My review: 4 ⭐
I am a big fan of serial killer reads and I quite enjoyed this one, although it was quite unconventional.
Father Solomon Lancaster is both a priest and the town sheriff ~ a job he got without any experience. How does one come into law enforcement without any criminal justice background?🤷
He has the pottiest of all potty mouths. I am no stranger to swearing at all, but holy moly there was an awful lot of it happening. Perhaps his previous job was a truck driver.
The murders were quite violent and graphic.
I am happy with narrator, Thom Rivera. He did a great job of keeping me engaged throughout.
At about 60% or so in we get a nice twist I didn’t see coming and I liked the last little zinger at the end. I’ll keep my eyes peeled for more work from this author in the future.
TW: cheating

Book blurb: Release date ~ April 19, 2022
In the early 1980’s, a tiny, rural Indiana farm town experiences a series of confounding and violent murders that shock the community.
Father Solomon Lancaster—the town’s dry-witted sheriff and priest at the community Catholic church—finds himself on the forefront of the investigation. Soon, he’s fighting to match wits with the serial killer terrorizing his town while trying to justify his law enforcement credentials to the FBI as their analysts and profilers take Crooked Creek, Indiana, by storm.
But Father Solomon is hiding secrets of his own. Ones that threaten to rise to the surface as the murders continue and the investigation draws nearer to the truth. As the killer begins to escalate, Father Solomon finds that even the innocent have dark sides, and trust might be the deadliest weapon of all.
