About this audiobook

Meet Dexter Morgan, a polite wolf in sheep’s clothing. He’s handsome and charming, but something in his past has made him abide by a different set of rules. He’s a serial killer whose one golden rule makes him immensely likeable: he only kills bad people. The Killer Character That Inspired the Hit Showtime Series Dexter

And his job as a blood splatter expert for the Miami police department puts him in the perfect position to identify his victims. But when a series of brutal murders bearing a striking similarity to his own style start turning up, Dexter is caught between being flattered and being frightened–of himself or some other fiend.

better ending than the TV show. I like the dark passenger as it's own character the way it chuckles and seem completely thrilled by the killing. where as dexter seem to at least have some form or reservation about it. this book was amazing from start to finish and even though I kind of knew the big twist because of the show. the story actually had me wondering if dexter was doing these murders in his sleep kind of like a fight club thing.

The show is great but like always the books are so much deeper and the story is a little different but really good
