Publisher's summary

“Like a breath of fresh air blowing across all crime-novel conventions, there is Dexter.” —Time

Dexter Morgan is not your average serial killer. He enjoys his day job as a blood spatter analyst for the Miami Police Department . . . but he lives for his nighttime hobby of hunting other killers. Dexter is therefore not pleased to discover that someone is shadowing him, observ­ing him, and copying his methods. Dexter is not one to tol­erate displeasure . . . in fact, he has a knack for extricating himself from trouble in his own pleasurable way.

Like the previous five best-selling novels in the Dexter series, Double Dexter showcases the witty, macabre origi­nality that has propelled Jeff Lindsay to international suc­cess. Double Dexter is raucously entertaining . . . full of smart suspense and dark laughs.

Dexter's Dasterdly Dark Double.

This story starts off perfectly, with Dexter dispatching a dark deed doer. It only gets better from there.

Dithering Domesticated Dexter

Dithering Domesticated Dexter or (another title suggestion) Rita Can't Finish a GD Sentence

12 in a half hours (audiobook) of my life, gone, most of it spent listening to Dexter (in Lindsay's narration) b* about how Rita didn't get around to making dinner (yet again) with everything else she has going on (job, kids, trying to buy a new home). Heaven forbid he make a meal maybe or has to live on take-out for a while. And the rest of the time listening to Dithering Domesticated Dexter tangle with a mediocre foe, praising his darling biological baby daughter, and on the verge of wanting to rip out my hair because Rita can't finish one GD sentence. She was so annoyingly scattered and moody and lushy - from her inability to have one GD conversation about her concerns - I almost hoped for the worst. And who drinks to the point of passing out with a baby (only kids and no other adults) in the house? I'm gonna come off judgy, but seriously, she suspects her husband of cheating and instead of knuckling in and confronting him, she juices up on bottle after bottle of Merlot and endangers her children. Yeah, cause that'll make things all better.

The plot with this one was the weakest so far. I was so disappointed. I am a huge Dexter/Lindsay fan. To the point where I'll even forgo Lindsay's need to narrate when it really should be the other guy who originally narrated the first couple of books. Or hell, even Michael Hall, just for kicks. He did a great job with Breakfast at Tiffany's.

The "bad guy" in this was so predictable, I was able to suss him out long before Dexter did. It shouldn't be this easy.

Anyway, the Audiobook version also had terrible technical issues - skipping a few seconds every so often. The only reason I stuck it out is it made for mindless background noise while I worked on my puzzle and diamond painting - and because I wanted to see if it got any better. Nope. I mean, seriously, we even had a "Jaws" moment in this book. Jaws? I think Lindsay is starting to phone these in. Which is sad because he is a talented author. Instead of narrating these, he should be focusing on giving them a more flushed-out plot without filler about camping and Rita's inability to make food or finish a thought, for example.

Rita....

Great book just like the rest, but Rita's stammering drove me nuts in this book.

Not Jeff Lindsay best!

I love Dexter but this was one of my least favorites. Not enough punch to the plot.

Dexter does it again!

What made the experience of listening to Double Dexter the most enjoyable?

The new storyline was great!

What did you like best about this story?

More Dexter!

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

I'm generally not a fan of authors who narrate their own work. There's some very talented actors & talented authors. I've yet to find that one person is both. Lindsay is capable, but i believe his abilities lay in writing.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

More Dexter!

Weaker than his others.

Always enjoy Dex and love the audiobooks, but I found this one transparent and flat. Still, Jeff has set these standards, and it was still entertaining.

I love these

Each book brings a fresh take into his life. It’s not a copy paste and 6 books in that’s hard to do! I love these so much. Great character, dark humor, good performances. Onto the next!
