Chasing the Boogeyman by Richard Chizmar

5.0

Creative and clever! A fiction novel but told as a true crime and with the author written in as the main character. I just ... yes, so much yes!

The concept here was truly brilliant and in my opinion the execution nailed it!

A very suspenseful and enthralling thriller about a series of murders that happen in a small town in Maryland. The mounting terror and the way you and the main character slowly realize it has to be a local keeps you on the edge of your seat while you read. The ending wasn't what I expected.

Pleasantly surprised to see photos included with most chapters. Such a unique thing to add and makes the true crime vibe really shine through. This book has made me a Chizmar fan, I enjoyed his writing style.

Thank you to Netgalley and Gallery books for allowing me to read an advanced copy.
