The macabre, witty New York Times bestselling series (and inspiration for the #1 Showtime series, Dexter) continues as our darkly lovable killer matches wits with a sadistic artiste—who is creating bizarre murder tableaux of his own all over Miami. After his surprisingly glorious honeymoon in Paris, life is almost normal for Dexter Morgan. Married life seems to agree with him: he’s devoted to his bride, his stomach is full, and his homicidal hobbies are nicely under control. But old habits die hard—and Dexter’s work as a blood spatter analyst never fails to offer new temptations that appeal to his offbeat sense of justice…and his Dark Passenger still waits to hunt with him in the moonlight. The discovery of a corpse (artfully displayed as a sunbather relaxing on a Miami beach chair) naturally piques Dexter’s curiosity and Miami’s finest realize they’ve got a terrifying new serial killer on the loose. And Dexter, of course, is back in business.

"I listened to the book in the car and found myself taking the long way home so I could listen to more. The kids really made me laugh. I'm looking forward to watching the TV series. I hope it's half as good as the books!"
— Susan (5 out of 5 stars)
" Can hardly wait for the next book! "
— Pam, 2/18/2014" My understanding is that Dexter is meant to be quite clever but he is painfully bumbling in this story. Although the author goes to pains to remind us again and again and again the reasons for this, it just wasn't doing it for me. "
— Jayne, 2/1/2014" perfect vacation read "
— Christine, 1/29/2014" Watched a couple of the series on television. So decided to read one of Jeff Lindsay's books, to be honest I hated it, didn't like the authors writing style, stopped reading after 4 chapters. "
— Tom, 1/12/2014" I love the Dexter series. "
— Amy, 11/13/2013" I have never read or watched any of the Dexter series before but I really liked this book. It was very graphic but a black comedy that kept me laughing throughout. I will def try another book in the series. "
— Christina, 10/26/2013" Back on track after a very mediocre book 3 .....My 82 'nd book of the year ! "
— Dylan, 10/22/2013" Definitely a step above the last entry! "
— Jeff, 10/19/2013" Much better improvement than the last book - I really liked how it all turned out...and I'm pretty excited to see how it ends up developing. "
— Alex, 10/11/2013" With an unusual beginning even for a Dexter book readers are thrown into the midst of a series of grisly murders that are targeted against Florida's tourism industry, but soon become Dexter's domain. "
— Aspasia, 9/14/2013" starting to think the dexter books aren't as good as the tv series. . .the whole thing about the kids being serial killers in training is beyond believability in a book already pushing the limit. "
