Publisher's summary

America’s most-read, most-watched, and most­ beloved serial killer - Dexter Morgan - is back. After selling more than one million copies and inspiring the wildly popular number one Showtime series and top-rated crime drama on pay-cable television, New York Times best-selling author Jeff Lindsay returns with his most hilarious, macabre, and purely entertaining novel yet.

Dexter Morgan has always lived a happy homicidal life. He keeps his dark urges in check by adhering to one stead­fast rule...he only kills very bad people. But now Dexter is experiencing some major life changes - don’t we all? - and they’re mostly wrapped up in the eight-pound curiosity that is his newborn daughter. Family bliss is cut short, however, when Dexter is summoned to investigate the disappearance of a 17-year-old girl who has been running with a bizarre group of goths who fancy themselves to be vampires. As Dexter gets closer to the truth of what happened to the missing girl, he realizes they are not really vampires so much as cannibals. And, most disturbing...these people have decided they would really like to eat Dexter.

Jeff Lindsay’s best-selling, dark, ironic, and oftentimes laugh-out-loud hilarious novels about the lovable serial killer with no soul (but a redeeming desire to kill only people who deserve it) have gained a legion of fans and assumed a place in our cul­ture.

More dastardly deeds desired? Listen to more Dexter.

I simply do not understand the negative reviews!

Very glad I ignored the poor reviews for my 4th Dexter read. A campy romp.

One of the best Dexters since the first book

As much as I love the Dexter series, the last two books were just okay. This is one is back to the basics, with Dexter facing fatherhood, his brother and mayham with his signature style.

can't wait to listen the next book

I'm more of a fan of dark dexter than I am of the family man dexter but this book had me Captivated and wondering what going to happen next!

Nice read !

Good addition to the series, Altho a couple of plot questions with the reintroduction of a previous character… no spoilers!

Good Listen

Not my style of book, but for a 30+ books a year listener I truly enjoyed it. I like everything about it.

another great Dexter book

After listening to the last book, I didn't think Lindsey could top it, but he did.

True to form

***Spoilers*** This installment of Dexter faithfully continues the storyline from #4 ("Dexter in the Dark"), which was probably the best in the series. Lindsay does a good job of characterizing Dexter as a family man gradually discovering his humanity. As if that weren't disgusting enough, he shows Deborah becoming an expectant mother as well. Luckily, Dexter's brother returns to remind the main character of his duties to his "dark passenger." The strength of this installment is that Lindsay does the most soaring writing of the series; there are a lot of gorgeous sentences. But the absurd cannibalism plot is all too reminiscent of the human-sacrifice story of the low point in the series, #3 ("Dexter in the Dark"). This will be a necessary listen for anybody who likes the series, but probably more for completist reasons than for the innate value of the book.

Dexter is Dopey

Still fun but without the cleverness of the previous book. He's not as careful, cunning or confident as I remember. And lastly end up having to rely on others to save him rather than the other way round. If Dexter can't be clever at least let him go out in a blasé of glory.

Daddy Dexter

Can Dexter be a loving dad and still be our Dark Dexter? The parental love has removed some of the darkness we have come to love from our Dexter. The darkness of our dark passenger has been muted. It is the darkness and the manner in which Dexter feeds it is why the series is so unique. With Dexter attempting to be a doting father and the change in the reader this is just a shadow of our Darkly Dreaming Dexter. Wait for the next installment.

Daddy Dexter

The last installment of the Dexter Morgan series left me a little...blah, but this book is paced much better and even brings some characters back into the mix to further Dexter's journey. This book explores Dexter's personal evolution and even though i grew worried for my favorite serial killer at times he shows his true colors and did not disappoint. Each of the main characters in Dexter's life were woven perfectly into this story and i recommend it for all fellow Dexter followers.

Oh and Jeff Lindsay is not as bad as some of the previous comments stated. I did miss Nick L's amazing narration skills, but I enjoy hearing the story the way the author hears it. Having Jeff Lindsay step in was a great treat. Preview first if you are skeptical.
