In the summer of 1988 several girls go missing, and their dead bodies found posed in a small Maryland town. Richard Chizmar aspiring writer returns to his hometown right before the second murder. Drawn into figuring out who is terrorizing his town, Richard writes his personal account of the serial killer's reign of terror. Also, the killer seems to be taking an interest in him. Mysterious hangup calls and someone seems to be following him. Will they find out who the Boogeyman is before he kills again?
I usually loathe books that are fiction but try to be nonfiction. However, I loved it in this form. Basically, it is a fiction true-crime book. The pictures at the end of each chapter really enhanced the story. It made me feel for the characters. I highly recommend this one!

Thank you Parmida!
Thank you Lisa!
I enjoy true crime and read a fair bit as well as listen to TC podcasts so this one didn't work for me. But I'm an outlier. Glad you enjoyed!

I kept forgetting it was fiction while I was reading it. I wish I could remember how it ended.Writing a book like that might be fun. Using your own family, friends, and neighbours from your childhood neighbourhood inside of a murder mystery would be an intriguing writing exercise if nothing else.
PS Thank you for the review. I meant to write this part first and then totally forgot. Your description of the book reminds me exactly about how I felt reading it. Ok, there isn't really a serial killer, that part is fake, but the people are real, so... then smoke might come out of my ears for a moment 😆
