Becoming the Boogeyman by Richard Chizmar
5.0

5 stars

Just like the first book, this one was so fucking good! But unlike the first one I blew through this book in a day. Chizmar once again writes with that air about him that makes this book feel SO *real.* I had to double check when I read book 1 to make sure all of the story was made up—and most of it was! And with this one even though I KNEW it was fake, I still had to remind myself several times while reading it. Chizmar is just that good at what he does! The ending very much left you with anticipation right away because there will be another book! I am giddy with book high and don’t know if I’ll be able to sleep right away since finishing this book. Now I can’t stop thinking about it!

This book had great descriptions and I loved the way the MC was kept in the loop by the police. The detective work detailed also delighted the little true crime freak in me. Overall this book was one I’d definitely recommend to someone else and I urge others to read this for a fantastic fictional true crime story!
