I liked this one better than Burning Girls but The Chalk Man is the best that I've read so far by Tudor.
Firstly, the 3 viewpoints could have been cut down to 2. The point would have still been made. To keep it vague, "the point" could have been revealed sooner. I was waiting for it and knew it was coming but too many POV made it feel like a slog.
Otherwise, I was completely engaged with the story.
Warning for LOTS of death/murder...felt more slasher than creepy horror.
