Complicated
What a fantastic work of meta fiction!! I haven't read anything else by Richard Chizmar, but now I want to. That being said, this is not horror and shouldn't have been nominated for that category in the Goodreads Choice Awards (insert side eye).
The concept? A+
The execution? A+
Did I, an avid true crime reader and documentary watcher guess the ending? Nope
Perfect use of memoir and fiction to discuss a true crime story to draw the reader in from the start. Not only was I drawn in, but I felt like I was in Edgewood with Richard and Carly trying to piece things together outside of the police search.
I recommend listening to it on audio and following along with a physical copy, it had great narration as well.
Plus those pictures included in the book? SO SMART.
This may just be the most throughly thought out release of 2021.
