Chasing the Boogeyman by Richard Chizmar
Did not finish book. Stopped at 7%.
If there’s one thing, I hate it’s when I’m watching the news and something terrible happens in the suburbs and a neighbor pops up and says “things like that don’t happen here”. Really Deborah? Where do they happen? And to whom?
Four chapters into this book and the author has spent 100% of the time describing the utopia of the small town. His mom‘s cookies and lemonade, the softball team, the smug middle class lifestyle. I’m like Richard who cares? You’re supposed to be telling me a story about a serial killer.
He hasn’t even mentioned a victim yet! This reads like an autobiography or memoir, and I have no interest in that.
