Becoming the Boogeyman by Richard Chizmar
4.0
It had been awhile since I finished the first Boogeyman book, but I dove right into this one and figured I would probably get back into the world easy enough. (I did!) I honestly wasn't sure where Chiz would go from here because the last book definitely felt like an ending to our story. But y'all, it was *not*.
The main issues I had with the first book were that some of the childhood memories were a little too long and meandering, and the crime photos were a little too staged. The photos are still not great (and I think totally unnecessary at this point), but I think he's got a handle on when to include memories and how long they should be before we get back into the Boogeyman action. He still throws in loads of red herrings, still has a few too many coincidences, and still doesn't explain SO MANY things, but hopefully things will become more clear (and the storytelling more concise) by the next (last?) book.
Kept me riveted and sufficiently creeped out! ****
