Boo Who - A Book Review

Boo Who is Rene Gutteridge’s next installment of the Boo series. And it follows with just as much fun as the original. Wolfe “Boo” Boone is trying to live a new life as Skary, Indiana’s newest used car salesman instead of writing the horror novels he is so known for all over the world.

But something’s not working. Wolfe finds the requirements of selling used cars a little too uncomfortable. Writing is what he knows, but he refuses, despite all efforts of his agent, to continue to write such things for the secular market. While he searches for a topic better suited to his status as a new Christian, Wolfe finds himself being overshadowed by the rising status of his finaceé, Ainsley Parker.

Alfred Tennison, Wolfe’s agent, devises a plan to get his best resource back on track – he’ll use Ainsley’s talents in cooking, decorating, etc., to make Wolfe jealous enough to return to his writing life.

Meantime the town has been inundated with mysterious figures flitting through the woods, strange screams in the night, and a psychological therapist who sets up for business in Skary, quite by accident, and has more patients than he ever dreamed of in his life.

Will all the new stresses in Ainsley’s life tear her apart from Wolfe and send their dream wedding down the drain? Will Wolfe give in to Alfred’s efforts and return to writing horror fiction? Will Sheriff Parker’s cat recover from his deep state of depression? All are questions that can only be answered by reading Boo Who.
