Double Dexter

A Novel

De: Jeff Lindsay

Narrado por: Jeff Lindsay

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A deadly duel unfolds for “the first serial killer who unabashedly solicits our love” (Entertainment Weekly)—the character that inspired the latest Showtime hit series Dexter: Resurrection.

Dexter is displeased. Like any self-respecting, totally decent, soundly homicidal guy, Dexter Morgan takes great pride in his work and is careful to remain anonymous. So he is, naturally, upset to discover that someone has identified him and—worst of all—is now turning his own methods against him.

The situation soon becomes more complicated when a brutal cop-killer begins targeting Miami’s police detectives—leaving behind bodies that are battered beyond recognition—and stoking the department’s worst fears. As his colleagues grow more paranoid of the psychotic killer in their midst, Dexter’s position is increasingly perilous. He is running out of time to track down this copycat and deliver his usual special justice, before his dark hobby is revealed to the world.

RAVES FOR JEFF LINDSAY’S ORIGINAL DEXTER NOVELS

“[A] macabre tour-de-force.” —New York Times Book Review

“Lindsay’s original, cockeyed view of the world is alive and well.” —Los Angeles Times

“Delicious and delightful might not be the best words to describe a serial killer. Unless, of course, we’re talking about the delectable Dexter Morgan. . . . Lindsay, the novelist, just keeps getting better.” —USA Today

Double D

This is worth the read if just for his interactions with his 1 year old daughter. It has plenty of WTH & WTF moments. I loved Astor's roll in this story. Fot me it didn't quite have the bite of previous Dexters. I think that often happens with books that are pivotal for character/circumstance transition. The story is good & Lindsay's narration is good. (except for his chapter annoncements..what's up with that?).

Very Predictable

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I would not really recommend, the Dexter books are getting very predictable and Dexter has gone from some one who was supposed to be a very intelligent person to a complete idiot in this book. The foreshawdowing is ridiculously obvious and makes the book anti-climatic.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

The book was basically just

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Jeff Lindsay?

Jeff Lindsay is not a very good narrator at all. Other than this book his Dexter serious has been very good but he is not the person who should be narrating the story.

Did Double Dexter inspire you to do anything?

Second guess getting the next Dexter book when it eventually comes out.

Double the Trouble For Dexter.

Dexter returns with double the trouble waiting for him. In the wake of his latest escapade. Dexter finds himself in trouble as his activities has inspired another killer who taunts Dexter with the knowledge he not only know what Dexter is but who he is. Meanwhile at home Rita has been acting strange. his two worlds collide as he races to find his new friend and clean up the mess he finds himself in. The Main Plot of the new Killer is Old hat for the Dexterverse. Old foes and friends return to both help and hinder Dexter's Efforts. What makes the Book Fun are the subplots as Dexter's obliviousness to Rita's and the new killer's behavior leaves him as confused as ever with human behavior, Rita herself is hilarious as ever. As the climax builds seeing how Dexter resolves his situation are the best parts of the book.

great as usual

good story, unlike some other users i found the narrator to be very good. very believable

spoiled by tv series

I don't know whether it was because I was trying to hear the "real" tv Dexter's voice or imagine the thoughts he might have, but Jeff Lindsay did not do it for me. His delivery for me was weak. Well, he did write the book so I have to believe he delivered it just as he intended. I was also unhappy with the divergence of the events between the series and this book; which includes people from the series being alive in the book who are dead on the tv series and Dexter's sister knowledge of his 'hobby' in the book but not on the television. I think if an author is writing for a character who also has a television show that he should at least keep the story history consistent. I found the story interesting but Jeff Lindsay's Dexter was too sloppy. If not for the interesting story I would have given the overall rating for this book a two instead of three star.
