A serial killer with a heart . . . Be grateful it's not yours.

Dexter Morgan isn't exactly the kind of man you'd bring home to your mum. At heart, he's the perfect gentleman: he has a shy girlfriend, and seems to lead a quiet, normal life bordering on the mundane. Despite the fact that he can't stand the sight of blood, he works as a blood-spatter analyst for the Miami police.

But Dexter also has a secret hobby: he is an accomplished serial killer. So far, he's killed 36 people and has never been caught because he knows exactly how to hide the evidence. And while that may lead some people to assume he's not such a nice guy, he tempers his insatiable hunger for brutality by only killing the bad guys.

However, Dexter's well-organised life is suddenly disrupted when a second, much more visible serial killer appears in Miami. Intrigued that the other killer favours a style similar to his own, Dexter soon realises that the mysterious new arrival is not simply invading his turf but offering him a direct invitation to 'come out and play . . .

Dexter as Dexter is

Wow. I'm sure lots of people also have found themselves reading the books after watching the TV adaptation, and my God. This is incredible, hooked me in and threw me around. I mean I know the plot as HBO had it but this is raw, written emotion, not adapted but how the Author intended. The wit, the dark humour, the narration. So good and the first book I've read cover to cover. Can't wait to read the rest!
