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.
