Dearly Devoted Dexter: A Novel Audiobook

He’s a charming monster . . . A macabre hero . . . A serial killer who only kills bad people Dexter Morgan has been under considerable pressure. It’s just not easy being an ethical serial killer—especially while trying to avoid the unshakable suspicions of the dangerous Sergeant Doakes (who believes Dexter is a homicidal maniac . . . which, of course, he is). In an attempt to throw Doakes off his trail, Dexter has had to slip deep into his foolproof disguise. While not working as a blood-spatter analyst for the Miami Police Department, he now spends nearly all his time with his cheerful girlfriend, Rita, and her two children, sipping light beer and slowly becoming the world’s first serial couch potato. But how long can Dexter play Kick the Can instead of Slice the Slasher? How long before his Dark Passenger forces him to drop the charade and let his inner monster run free? In trying times, opportunity knocks. A particularly nasty psychopath is cutting a trail through Miami—a man whose twisted technique leaves even Dexter speechless. As Dexter’s dark appetite is revived, his sister, Deborah (a newly minted, tough-as-nails Miami detective) is drawn headlong into the case. It quickly becomes clear that it will take a monster to catch a monster—but it isn’t until his archnemesis is abducted that Dex can finally throw himself into the search for a new plaything. Unless, of course, his plaything finds him first . . . With the incredible wit and freshness that drew widespread acclaim to Darkly Dreaming Dexter, Jeff Lindsay now takes Dexter Morgan to a new level of macabre appeal and gives us one of the most original, colorful narrators in years.

"I loved this book! I am a big fan of the show and have seen the first three seasons and would love to see the next two and cant wait until the 6th season comes out on showtime. The book, however still good, is a lot different from the show. This is the second book in the Dexter series out of like 6 books with a new one coming out. The only similarity between them is the first season and then in makes up season two and then somewhat follows the second book. Enough about the show and onto the book. I thought this book to be very interesting because its sort of a thriller type book which is really easy to keep me interested. The main character Dexter, is a sociopath who works for the Miami Metro Police Department as a blood spatter analyst, but also since he is a sociopath he kills people. But, what makes him a good guy is the fact that although he has the need to kill people, he only kills bad guys. He is kind of like a hardcore Batman. He also only kills people who have murdered innocent people and he doesn't kill people who have committed crimes where nobody gets killed. It's against his code. So the story is all about him trying to find a killer before he murders a fellow police Sergeant by the name of Doakes. It is very interest and has a kind of cinematic feel where you can picture it as a movie. I highly recommend it!"
