I loved Chasing the Boogeyman, so I was excited to read this sequel. I enjoyed the sequel but it didn't draw me in as much as the first book. The book centers around the author and his family living in the community of Bel Air, MD, close to Edgewood, where the author grew up. The Boogeyman is in prison, and only gives interviews to the author. The author's family is in danger in this book, as there is a copycat killer out there, and the interest in getting close to the one man who has a relationship with the killer is a draw for them. 
Chilling. Looking forward to book 3.
