CHASING THE BOOGEYMAN Review

 

 Richard Chizmar returns to his  childhood home, with vivid memories of  typical small town life. As a new writer, he gets himself involved with an investigation pertaining to gruesome murders involving local girls. The killer's signature is to take an ear for a trophy. Richard uses his investigation skills to lend a hand when he can without receiving much notoriety from it. 

CHASING THE BOOGEYMAN was an interesting tale, but it started out with a slow draw of endless hometown depictions.  Not that they were nice, but it was large blocks of information, that to me stalled the story out. I hoped it would get better, and it did once I started on KACEY’S chapter and thereafter. This book is very descriptive, which slows the pacing but other than that, it was an interesting read. I would have liked to have known more about Boogeyman’s past and what made him tick -especially when it came to one victim rather close to him (don’t want no spoilers). I felt this was a bit skimmed over and would have liked to delve deeper. 

Over all, CHASTING THE BOOGEYMAN by Richard Chizmar was an interesting tale.

WOLVES AT NIGHT BOOK REVIEW

 

                                       WOLVES AT NIGHT 

                                   Review

                           by Tamera Lawrence 

When Eleni decides to meet up with her old lover in a secret reunion, she has no idea what’s in store. She hadn’t seen Ben in years. He has never met his son. Their time together holds a special place in her heart, but there had been a horrible infraction, keeping them apart. Ben had been accused of a horrific murder. A young, beautiful woman had been tortured to death. Eleni knows her Ben would never commit such a horrible crime. Sure he was bit protective, controlling- but that was because of his love for her. If only the truth would come out and Ben could stop running.  They could be a family.

With her heart dictating her common sense, Eleni drags her young son into a cold, dark nightmare as she leaves the safety of normal society to meet Ben and opts for a cabin in the Alaskan wilds to the very cabin in which Jacob was conceived. Danger lurks all around. Wolves and the elements are just two of her horrors, as her situation only escalates when visitors arrive.

It is rare these days that a book can keep me moving through the chapters, but WOLVES AT NIGHT by Sarah McDermott Jain did exactly that. This story pulls you in even as your hating the dread in your soul. Eleni’s character is full of surprising as her survival mode kicks in.

I highly recommend this awesome read and look forward to reading more books by this talented author.

THE NOVEL TOURISH BOOK CLUB OF PHILADELPHIA Oct 30th 2021

I was pleased to have the Novel Tourist Book Club read and review my newest book ASYLUM. This wonderful group of people came to visit  the old "Pennhurst State School & Hospital" for their history tour. Afterward, I met this group at the Spring Hollow Golf Club in Spring City for lunch and a book discussion. We had a lively talk about Pennhurst, the history as well as the ghostly happenings in some of the buildings. 

What a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

THE THINGS YOU FIND IN ROCKPOOLS Book Review

 

REVIEW

Billy Wheatley is not your average kid. A bit on the loner side, Billy likes to explore Silverlea beach and likes to do research on hermit-crabs at a place he calls the rock-pools. Living with his dad, Billy feels he can’t measure up to his dad’s expectations, especially when it comes to surfing. Young Billy hates the water. He has an unnatural fear of surfing, a bit of discourse between father and son. Things get stranger when a teenage girl goes missing. Billy becomes his own detective, trying to solve the case, but trouble is just around the corner as he begins pointing the finger to a suspect. Things get crazier as Billy’s dad becomes more obtrusive. As Billy unravels the mystery and gets himself into trouble with the law, Billy’s dad has a new mission – force Billy to surf and face his fears. But does Billy have a right to be afraid of the water. Things are not what they seem.

THE THINGS YOU FIND IN ROCKPOOLS by Gregg Dunnett was a good read with a few unexpected twists.

 I thoroughly enjoyed this "fishy tale."
