Razor Blade Tears by S.A. Cosby

 Two young men have been murdered. They were married to one another and had a young daughter. Two fathers who are different as night and day and who couldn't accept their sons as gay come together to find out who killed their sons and avenge their death.

The read is clever, frightening and infuriating. Quite possibly the most well written book I have read this year! You don't want to miss out on it.
