About this ebook

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Life’s tough for Dexter Morgan. It’s not easy being the world’s only serial killer with a conscience, especially when you work for the Miami police. • The Killer Character That Inspired the Hit Showtime Series Dexter

To avoid suspicion, Dexter’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 do come out of hiding and hunt the monster down. Unless, of course, the killer finds him first. . .

Ratings and reviews

...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.

maybe not, but certainly better then Most books
