The Chalk Man By: C. J. Tudor Narrated by: Andrew Scott, Asa Butterfield Length: 8 hrs and 39 mins Unabridged Release date: 01-11-18 Language: English Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd Publisher's Summary A riveting and brilliantly plotted psychological suspense, this whip-smart debut will keep listeners guessing right up to the shocking ending. In 1986, Eddie and his friend are just kids on the verge of adolescence. They spend their days biking around their sleepy little English village and looking for any taste of excitement they can get. The chalk men are their secret code: little chalk stick figures they leave for each other as messages only they can understand. But then a mysterious chalk man leads them right to a dismembered body, and nothing will ever be the same. In 2016, Eddie is fully grown, and thinks he's put his past behind him. But then he gets a letter in the mail containing a single chalk stick figure. When it turns out his other friends got the same messages, they think it could be a prank...until one of them turns up dead. That's when Eddie realizes that saving himself means finally figuring out what really happened all those years ago. Expertly alternating between flashbacks and the present day, The Chalk Man is the very best kind of suspense novel, one where every character is wonderfully fleshed out and compelling, where every mystery has a satisfying payoff, and where the twists will shock even the savviest listener. ©2018 C.J. Tudor (P)2018 Random House Audio Critic Reviews "Utterly hypnotic. The Chalk Man is a dream novel, a book of nightmares: haunted and haunting, shot through with shadow and light - a story to quicken the pulse and freeze the blood. A dark star is born." (A.J. Finn, author of The Woman in the Window) "What a great book. A twisty thriller and downright creepy ending. Five stars." (Sarah Pinborough, New York Times best-selling author of Behind Her Eyes)
