Publisher Description

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!"

    " 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. "

    " 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. "

    " 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. "

    " 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. "

    " 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. "

    " This book tends to be very weird. I did not enjoy it as much as the previous two which is probably why it is the last one in the series that i have read. "

    " I am trying to fill the void left when this season ended, and sorry Jeff Lindsay but these books just arnt doing it. I am grateful that you came up with Dexter but these books are no match for the series. I can not wait until September for more Dexter :( "

    " This Dexter book was a whole lot of fun. It really takes the notion of performance art to a whole other level. The climax of the story was something I could see like it was on a screen in front of me. "

    " A little predictable and I didn't really love the whole "art" theme. Maybe my familiarity with these Dexter books is changing my expectations (and thus disappointing me). Totally possible. "

    " Pleasantly surprised by the direction of this volume. Only a couple of very short references to the ill-advised supernatural direction of the last book, so I'm looking forward to future volumes. "

    " Did not finish. This idea that the Dark Passenger is something external is in direct opposition to my own view of human nature. Oh, yeah, people can be evil without some alien consciousness guiding the way. "
