I enjoyed it very much! Its a great followup to the first book, and for a minute there, i seriously wondered if there would be a third book !
Poor Dearly Devoted Dexter, accidentally proposes to Rita LOL, and now Cody seems to be a new Dark Avenger in training. He sinks into the life of the average Joe family man, with the Dark Need growing more and more impatient. Meanwhile, a killer who is connected to Seargent Doakes is playing a deadly game of hangman with his victims, and Dexter and Deborah go on a wild game of cat and mouse to catch the killer, before he catches them first.

The first Dexter book was good, but this one is GREAT!! A truly sick serial killer is out for vengeance and our sweet, sociopathic Dexter is enlisted by his sister to help track him down. Dexter's own "playtime" is very reluctantly put on hold when Doakes, his nemesis, decides to shadow his every move. This forces Dexter into playing house with Rita and the kids in an attempt to fool Doakes into thinking he's "normal". Meanwhile, people are losing body parts and a boot-wearing child-killer may slip through Dexter's fingers. Jeff Lindsay's Dexter books are hilarious, sick, and thrilling - a satisfying combination. This one ends with plenty of fodder for several more. Yea for us!!
