Darkly Dreaming Dexter [Paperback] by Jeff Lindsay

Darkly Dreaming Dexter is Available now on Amazon for only $10.17.

Meet Dexter Morgan. He’s a highly respected lab technician specializing in blood spatter for the Miami Dade Police Department. He’s a handsome, though reluctant, ladies’ man. He’s polite, says all the right things, and rarely calls attention to himself. He’s also a sociopathic serial killer whose “Dark Passenger” drives him to commit the occasional dismemberment.

Despite his penchant for vivisection, it’s hard not to like Dexter as his coldly logical personality struggles to emulate emotions he doesn’t feel and to keep up his appearance as a caring, unremarkable human being. Breakout author Jeff Lindsay’s plot is tense and absorbing, but it’s the voice of Dexter and his reactions to the other characters that will keep readers glued to Darkly Dreaming Dexter, as well as making it one of the most original and highly recommended serial killer stories in a long time.

What makes this novel zing, though, is the narration-humorous, self-deprecating, smart and sometimes lyrical, it’s a macabre fun ride (“I thought about the nice clothes that I always wore. Well of course I did. I took pride in being the best-dressed monster in Dade County”).

Here’s what one pleased customer had to say about the Darkly Dreaming Dexter:

The attractively ghoulish protagonist is a sociopath and a murderer, but one with a “conscience”, unfortunately an asset as manufactured as his other feelings. But Dexter does his best, given the circumstances. Brilliant and introspective, Dexter charms from the first page, even while distracted, dismembering his latest victim.

What makes Dexter’s extra-curricular activity bearable is the reason he kills: Dexter only chooses victims who have perpetrated foul deeds, those who would continue harming innocents if not stopped. To be honest, who hasn’t secretly applauded the occasional vigilante who takes justice in his own hands, balancing the scales a bit? — L Gaines
