12.30.2017 - The Chalk Man

The Chalk Man

Thanks so much to NetGalley, Crown Publishing and CJ Tudor for the opportunity to read this debut book - wonderful!

This story is told from the viewpoint of Eddie in two different timeframes - 1986 and 2016.  In 1986, Eddie was in a group of friends in a small town with all that comes of growing up - bullying, family issues, school, religion.  They develop a method of communicating with each other by drawing chalk men - but one day, the chalk men lead them to a gruesome discovery.  In 2016, Ed is still living in his family home, teaching school in town, still friends with some of the group.  But the past has a way of never staying in the past.

There are so many twists in this book that I'm keeping my review short and sweet as to not spoil anything.  This book does contain some gruesome scenes but I never saw the twists coming - especially the ending.  Can't wait to read more from this author!
