All the Colors of the Dark

The author seamlessly blends a serial killer, a coming-of-age and a love story. This will make an incredible series.

I truly enjoyed this book. The character development over time was flawless and Whitaker created a vivid world in which I found myself never wanting to depart.

If you like being emotional destroyed by a book (I do!), then I highly recommend All The Colors of the Dark. Whitaker sure knows how to breath life into his characters. Although the story is centered around Patch and Saint, the cast of characters that move in and out of their lives are so richly-drawn and equally compelling that you can imagine them as protagonists in their own stories. Every single character is complex, flawed, vulnerable. A poignant portrayal of the aftermath of a shared trauma which take Patch and Saint on divergent journeys to resolve issues of loss, grief,… show more.

Chris Whitaker blew the reading community away with his previous novel, We Begin at the End, but All the Colors of the Dark blows it out of the water.

A sprawling epic told over thirty-plus years, it’s an astonishing feat of penmanship, plotting, and characterization. The tale of the pirate (the one-eyed Patch) and the Beekeeper (the fierce and loyal Saint) will capture the hearts of generations to come—an incredible book.
