Dexter By Design: A Novel

by Jeff Lindsay

Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group | October 13, 2011 | Hardcover

Based on 40 ratings | Rate this

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.

Jaw Dropping
by jo champ

Lyndsay has done it once again and created a new and exciting book to continue the Dexter franchise and keep it alive. This next instalment in the series shows even more contrast with Dexter's relationships with his new family and a crisis with Deb shows how his character is starting to "almost" love. Deb and Dex get very emotional and Deb eventually accepts Dexter and the Code set by her father, this made my jaw drop and i had to finish the book a.s.a.p! check it out, it wont let you down if you are a fan of the previous novels.

devious dexter
by Donna Dolbear

It's often difficult, I think, to keep both a book and tv series going successfully... but Dexter continues to please. There is enough continuity between the two that they work well in conjuction with each other, and yet the story lines are different and keep the intrigue. This book in particular had me both sitting on the edge of my seat and practically laughing myself out of it. Can't wait for the next one.
