I loved this novel.
It made me question whether it was a true story at times as it gave me definite Michelle McMamara vibes.
I loved how you could feel the fear of the 'characters' and how you were right there with Rich and Carly wanting to solve the crime.
It is set in Maryland in 1988, Rich is home from college whilst waiting to get married and then everything changes, with the death of his school friends sister. More deaths occur whilst the police are trying to find out who is the Boogeyman.
And when you find out who the killer actually is welllll....jaw drop!
I really cannot wait to read further items by Chizmar as this just read really well.
I received a copy of this book through Netgalley for an honest review.
