About this eBook
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Life is tough for “the first serial killer who unabashedly solicits our love” (Entertainment Weekly)—the character that inspired the latest Showtime hit series Dexter: Resurrection.
“Morbidly funny.”—Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review
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 Morgan’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 come out of hiding and hunt the monster down. Unless, of course, the killer finds him first . . .
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

...but only very slightly. Lindsay's second foray into Dexter Morgan's Miami inexplicably lacks ALL of the strength and freshness of the fisrt novel, but again, the book's power is barely diminished. It is still an absolute page-turner and in the crime/noir genre, it is certainly one of the very best. Lindsay often does for Miami what Chandler did for LA, & that's high praise. And again, Dexter is just so much fun the pages turn themselves...

I don't understand some of the complaining about it not being as good as the first one. I feel like it fed in well with it and even more so. I'm getting a whole new story of Dexter than what the show has shown and I'm loving every bit of it.
