The Chalk Man by C.J. Tudor
3.0

This book was very well written and I was shocked when I found out that this was Tudor’s debut novel. The character development was amazing and (at least from my perspective) the plot was unsolvable. My least favorite thing about reading thrillers is when you figure out the ending too early and I certainly had no idea what was coming with this one. Why did I give it three stars then? First, it reminded me too much of other books I have read. I kind of had feelings of deja vu while working my way through this one. Also, I think the author tried too hard to tie up all the lose ends in the final chapters. I wish some of the revelations were left a mystery as it would have made the entire story more realistic. Overall, I do think this book is worth reading, but some of my own reading preferences kept me from rating it higher.
