If you have watched the TV series Dexter - you will not be disappointed in this book. It is even better than the TV series, as you get further insights into the way Dexter Morgan thinks, and dare I say it, how he feels. There are major differences in the book versus the TV series, and all for the better enjoyment of reading a fantastic book. If you are into new experiences, this is one for you, as a serial killer goes out to kill BAD people.....and you end up actually liking the guy...The running commentary by Dexter is amazing as you can really get into his head, so it feels like you know Dexter Morgan by the end of the book......Do yourself a favour this year and definitely read this book! There is a new master of suspense!!

Talk about craftmanship within the mind of a serial killer with reason. Dexter Morgan, a bloke thats not so normal with an urge to kill, his step father harry taught him how to use this urge for good, meaning that dexter only kills the guilty that get away. Dexter is also a blood forensic expert during the day meaning that he understand the framework better than anyone on how to not leave evidence and what small fragments can show him about other killers. This book brings you into a world where homicide is searching for a killer, that keeps slipping messages that connect to Dexters life, with big twist and a massive finally, this book crushes any crime book out there for thrills and spills and all that kills. And remember this is only Lindsays first book. With another that was just released and with another on the way and a TV show that was made, though it has only played on showtime in the states, but u can order the box set as it is one of the greatest shows ever and was nominated at the emmys.

Having seen the tv series, reading the book seamed like I was watching the whole thing over again, as the series has copied the book word for word bar a few minor details, I don't want to spoil it for anyone but there is a major difference at the end. This is a good surprize because of the sameness of it all.

I love watching dexter now I am going to read all the books so i can have my fix of dexter all the time

hey, this is a pretty good book,
after finishing this book, i'm eager to
read the others
if your into this kind of stuff (crime, murder, mystery)
then you should read this book series

A mediocre read. Incredibly overrated. The TV series is much better. Usually the book is better than the film or series but this time, the series improves on the book.

I love the TV Series of Dexter. So to read the book after, you get a good picture of characters and what is going on.
Obviously it cuts out heaps from the TV Series. (I know it orginiated from the book). But its different to read about blood and police work than to see it.
I still prefer to see it, but this is a good book!
