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.

"Lindsay's sharp and wicked wit is in full view in this installment...[Double Dexter] had me laughing out loud." (USA Today)

GREAT!!!

What a GREAT book series. I would recommend this GREAT book, just have to read the 5 before it and try to do the 2 after, just like I'm going to do now. I'm down loading the 7th one and then the 8th.

Love the books but...

I have enjoyed the Dexter series so far. Not a fan however of Jeff reading it himself. Someone like John Lithgow would have made it better.

Excellent work!

I love the characters and the storyline; beautifully done! The show was great, but the book series is exceptionally great. Highly recommend.

Wonderful.

Dexter is an interesting fellow, eh? Always fun to read, despite his predilections. Very entertaining.

It's good, but not great

I have been a big fan of the TV show, and now a fan of the books. I am annoyed how clean cut no nonsense Dexter is always doubting clearly obvious things, and how from book to book it's clear that if anyone is ever following him... he'll just say it's coincidence and he's being paranoid... good books but getting annoyingly painful for these stupid details.

Damn Dexter is Dazzeling!!!

I absolutely love the witty humor and darkness that Dexter demonstrates. I could dance the dark dance in castle dexter for decades. Days after reading Dexter I'm drawn back to the darkness over and over.

pretty good, but still doesn't top my favourite

Jeff Lindsay is a very talented writer, and I've enjoyed these books very much, and I certainly can't wait to see how it all wraps up! I will say though, this wasn't my favourite. I was really hoping that Brian would be in it more, just like the previous book. And Dearly Devoted Dexter will always be my favourite of the series. All and all, it was an enjoyable story.
