Product Description
Life’s tough for Dexter Morgan. It’s not easy being the world’s only serial killer with a conscience, especially when you work for the Miami police. To avoid suspicion, Dexter’s had to slip deep into his disguise: spending time with his girlfriend and her kids, slowly becoming the world’s first serial killing couch potato.
Then a particularly nasty psychopath starts cutting a trail through Miami — a killer whose twisted techniques leave even Dexter speechless. When his sister Deborah, a tough-as-nails cop, is drawn into the case, it becomes clear that Dexter will have to do come out of hiding and hunt the monster down. Unless, of course, the killer finds him first. . .

 Departure from the show November 10, 2008
The first book is genius, and the first season of Dexter on Showtime is based heavily on it.
The second book is a major departure from the second season of Dexter. The two are barely comparable. So, don't buy this book if you want it to be close to that.
However, that said, the book really is very good. The author plays with characters in ways that many authors are afraid to. Death, being maimed, and serious issues plague the characters that you may have come to love in the first book.
Dexter Part 2 November 6, 2008
Again, another great book. Dexter is a wonderful character. All I can say is that Jeff Lindsay does it again!
Dexter - the killer you root for! September 15, 2008
I am a huge Dexter fan. If you are discovering Dexter because of the TV show, you will be pleasantly surprised as the books do differ in the plot than the TV show!
Dexter is the serial killer you root for, as he tracks down really bad guys and disposes of them in a way the police cannot!
Dexter Almost Claims Another Victim September 12, 2008
Dexter nearly claimed me as a victim when I read this--I nearly died from laughing too much. I don't know how he does it, but Jeff manages to make Dexter a highly sympathetic character, who takes any interruption to his (ab)normal existence and turns it into a major catastrophe. I don't know how he does it, but I liked it.
Dearly Devoted Dexter August 22, 2008
Amazing. The books ending and elements are much different from the Showtime Series. I have enjoyed all three Dexter Books By Jeff Lindsay. I can hardly wait for the fourth book which I hear is in the works.
