About this listen
Award-winning, New York Times bestselling author S. A. Cosby's debut novel My Darkest Prayer is republished in a new edition, with a new introduction from the author.
"I handle the bodies."
Whether it's working at his cousin's funeral home or tossing around the local riffraff at his favorite bar, Nathan Waymaker is a man who knows how to handle the bodies. A former marine and sheriff's deputy, Nathan has built a reputation in his small Southern town as a man who can help when all other avenues have been exhausted. When a beloved local minister is found dead, his parishioners ask Nathan to make sure the death isn't swept under the rug.
What starts out as an easy payday soon descends into a maze of mayhem filled with wannabe gangsters, vicious crime lords, porn stars, crooked police officers, and a particularly treacherous preacher and his mysterious wife. Nathan must use all his varied skills and some of his wit to navigate the murky waters of small town corruption even as dark secrets of his own threaten to come to the surface.

Descriptions?
Excellent writing but could have done without the overly descriptive sexual content. Love the narrator

Really good and fast piece story well narrated
Great narration, fast paced story, lots of action, believable characters and a few twist you didn’t see coming. Really can recommend it to anybody who likes thriller noir. No moment did I not feel the story move forward and have fun hearing it. I’m looking forward to the rest of his books.

OUTSTANDING!!!
How can this be Mr Cosbys first novel, every chapter is word perfect, a book with heart, violence that's as brutal as needed, funny and recommended as any book I've read this year. His next 2 books are just as good although this is my favourite. The best part of finishing this book is knowing there's a book being released in 2023.

The story and the narration are great
The previous books that I have listened too from Cosby were outstanding and this one is not far away either. The ‘Skunk’ character in the story is marvelous and it would be great to have the chance to listen to a whole book of his adventures!

Outstanding
S A Cosby is one of todays best thriller writers - all his characters are well formed and his story lines utterly believable if not jaw dropping . Adam Lazard-White makes his book jump out at you . A near perfect partnership .

Feels Real
All of it. I’ve listened to the Rimes books and enjoyed them. This is the second book I have read by SA Cosby, both books give another take on the injustices to black people in the south, but with an almost film noir thriller feel to it. I enjoyed both and will be buying the third. Loved the narration.

Superb - from the first to the last word.
Outstanding story from an exceptional author and narrated by a masterly honey-drenched voice. Ten out of ten.
