In 1986, Eddie and his friends are on the verge of adolescence, spending their days biking in search of adventure. The chalk men are their secret code, stick figures they draw for one another as hidden messages. But one morning the friends find a chalk man leading them to the woods. They follow the message, only to find the dead body of a teenage girl.
In 2016, Eddie is nursing a drinking problem and trying to forget his past, until one day he gets a letter containing a chalk man—the same one he and his friends saw when they found the body. Soon he learns that all his old friends received the same note. When one of them is killed, Eddie realizes that saving himself means figuring out what happened all those years ago. But digging into the past proves more dangerous than he could have known. Because in this town, everyone has secrets, no one is innocent, and some will do anything to bury the truth.

My Opinion
The Chalk Man by C. J. Tudor is a fast-paced psychological thriller set in a small town. The book starts with a very positive note of terror. The atmosphere it created also had a spine-tingling effect. Between all this, the author has inserted some horror moments to relish. Also, the characters were nice, each of them having their own role to play. But there were many loopholes in the story. I felt that the author was somewhere between horror and psychological thriller. A story that could have turned out to be chilling horror ended just in a thriller. So many questions were left unanswered.
Still, the book is interesting and deserves a one-time read. Definitely, I would like to give the book 3 stars.
