The Chalk Man is a fast-paced thriller, with some serious Stephen King vibes. I enjoyed the dual timeline aspect (although I preferred the childhood story set in 1986 to the present day one set in 2016) and I love that every single character had secrets! This was Tudor’s debut novel, and while it was good, her work has only improved!

I want to start this review by saying that I enjoyed the book and I probably will reread this in the future. It just wasn't what I expected and that's okay. 

The story is told through two time periods and sometimes I felt like the chapters ended very abruptly and sometimes the flick between the two just felt very choppy instead of flowing. 

The plot was very weird and it seemed like the author was going more for shock factor with it. Every time it seems like the plot is getting close to being wrapped up, something else happens almost like the author was just trying to throw things in there and some of it disrupted the flow a bit. 

For a debut, it's good and I'll be interested to see what the author does in the future. Overall a good book, but the flow and pacing fell a bit off.
