Chasing the Boogeyman by Richard Chizmar

Did not finish book. Stopped at 41%.

The idea for this book is really good and I like the premise. The problem is that the narrator sounds very dated and does not do a good job of brining you into the story. Having a narrator who sounds that way isn't necessarily a problem, but I found myself treating the book like a commercial in the background. I would occassionaly look up and go "oh that's interesting, I wonder what this is about?" and then I would quickly realize they are dwelling on a storyline that seems to have little to no relevance to the story. It may factor in later but after a while the story has to actually start and not keep telling these side stories that unfortunaley weren't that interesting. Like I said, the premise of the book is good, but it feels like a chore to get to where the story possibly gets more interesting but I wasn't given enough early to give that attempt.
