Publisher Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Go deeper into the psyche of “the first serial killer who unabashedly solicits our love” (Entertainment Weekly)—the character that inspired the latest Showtime hit series Dexter: Resurrection.
“Lindsay’s bad boy is back. . . . Perversely funny.”—The New York Times Book Review
In his work as a Miami crime scene investigator, Dexter Morgan is accustomed to seeing evil deeds—particularly because, on occasion, he commits them himself. Dexter’s happy existence is turned upside down when he is called to an unusually disturbing crime scene at the university campus.
Dexter’s Dark Passenger—mastermind of his homicidal prowess—immediately senses something chillingly recognizable and goes into hiding. Dexter is alone for the first time in his life, and he realizes he’s being hunted by a truly sinister adversary. Meanwhile he’s planning a wedding and trying to learn how to be a stepfather to his fiancée’s two kids—who might just have dark tendencies themselves.
Look for all of Jeff Lindsay’s deliciously twisted Dexter novels:
DARKLY DREAMING DEXTER • DEARLY DEVOTED DEXTER • DEXTER IN THE DARK • DEXTER BY DESIGN • DEXTER IS DELICIOUS • DOUBLE DEXTER • DEXTER’S FINAL CUT • DEXTER IS DEAD
Customer Reviews
Huh that was unexpected
Well this was not quite the way I was expecting the series to go. I’m not so sure I really liked the supernatural-like elements. I did like Dex’s sense of humor. I laughed out loud a few times. His relationship with the children and his sister is interesting also. I’m continuing the series for sure.
Too Mythical
I like the series but I did not find this book as intriguing as the first too. The whole concept was too mythical for my taste. I do absolutely love the sarcasm and personality of Dexter! Still gonna keep reading though!
Great storytelling
Excellent storytelling on Lindsay's behalf. However, I did NOT like the direction that was taken with the story. Dearly Devoted Dexter so far, is my favorite book in the series and I am excited to start Dexter By Design in hopes that the story takes a better turn.
