The Chalk Man
by
by
A young woman is murdered and cut into pieces, her body parts (minus the head) left in the woods to be found by four 12 year old boys. The story is told by Ed, a high school teacher who is one of the four boys who found the body. Most of the story either takes place in 1986 or 2016 as we learn about the time leading up to the discovery of the body and other mysterious happenings in the town afterwards.
I love reading a book that I don't want to put down until the end and that's how I felt about this book. I enjoyed the characters even if I didn't like some of them at all. I look forward to reading more from C.J. Tudor.
Update: 11/27/2022 I liked this one but I always have questions when I'm finished with a Tudor book. This one did make a big impression on me because of a certain health issue and it's the Tudor book that I remember the most.

It sounds nightmare producing. Nice review, Marilyn.

A interesting review Marilyn. I have this book but have never got round to reading it as yet. Thank you.

Tterrific review. Tossing the trophy into the trunk at the end of the book was kind of funny (in a sicko sort of way). I thought the Others was the best of the three - I listened to the audio and there was a bonus of three short stories by Tudor (I loved them - even more than her novels).

I had trouble understanding the ending of The Hiding Place so I liked The Others and The Chalk Man better. I really do enjoy this author!
Oh what a fantastic book this was....full of thrills twists and turns...definitely the best from Tudor

Have you read her latest The Burning Girls? I'm yet to read it..
Taste_in_Books wrote: "Have you read her latest The Burning Girls? I'm yet to read it.."Yes, I've read that one, also. It was good too, different from her other books.
So glad you loved it, Marilyn. Unputdownable is the best read ever💖

Excellent review Marilyn! This is one I've always been meaning to read.

I really liked this one too, which is why I picked up The Drift which I am already worried about after reading your review :)

Sounds like a good one that I would enjoy! Thanks for your review!!
Jennifer wrote: "Sounds like a good one that I would enjoy! Thanks for your review!!"Thank you, Jennifer! As you can see, I enjoyed this one a lot. There is horror there but it's subtle. Now Tudor has moved to in your face, horrific horror and it's too much for me.
Great review Marilyn! This is a book that I’m going to add to my list! :)

Just watching ‘The Burning Girls� on tv - a great writer
Mike wrote: "Just watching ‘The Burning Girls� on tv - a great writer"Oh, yes! What do you think of The Burning Girls on tv? I felt sad knowing about the real burning girls when reading the book.
