Becoming the Boogeyman | by Richard Chizmar



Expected Publication Date: October 10. 2023



Becoming the Boogeyman is the second installment in this series. While it's still good it just doesn't have the same punch as Chasing the Boogeyman. That doesn't meant it isn't good because it is but one can't recapture the excitement and uniqueness of the first novel. It is a nice addition and it seem as though it is set up for another installment.

Chizman continues to write the book as though it is non-fiction giving it the true crime appeal many of us crime junkies seek. It's decades later and Richard and his family are living a seemingly normal life. The Boogeyman is behind bars, Rich's book has been a hit and then copycat kills start again. Richard finds himself being stalked and with this the creep factor goes up quite a few notches giving you a few thrills and chills. 

Expect some fun Steven King Easter eggs and a slightly unexpected plot twist. 

** I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
