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.

As good as ever!

If you loved the previous stories you will love this one also! My only complaint is that I'd like Jeff Lindsay to stop reading his own books. Yes, he does fine but the guy that used to do them was better. You'd think that after becoming rich he'd spread the wealth around and let a professional present his story.

Double Delight!

I would recommend this book to anyone with a dark side to their humor.

I hated to have to pull myself away from thi book. There is a definite need to know what happens next.

still keeps me entertained

Any additional comments?

I've heard all the Dexter books and also regularlly watch the series. It had been awhile since the last book and I forgot how different the TV series is from the books. If you have been watching the series on ShowTime and have not read the previous books you can still listen to this one. Just realize there are significant differences... namely in the books Dexter has a girl (not a boy), his wife is alive, his step children know about his dark passenger and in face the boy also has a dark passenger, and his sister Deb has a son close to the age of Dexter's daughter. Additionally although his father played the same role in Dexter's past we hear very little about him in the books.Otherwise if you enjoy the TV series you will love the books.

Does Not Disappoint!

As a fan of the earlier Dexter novels and TV series, this book does not disappoint. Creative plot and story line to continue detailing Dexter’s diabolical drama. If there is one reservation, it’s that it took so long to get to the anticipated resolution of “Dexter’s Dilemma”. I solved that little problem by increasing the narration speed.

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.

Dexter, Dexter, Dexter!

I have been Listening through Dexter. The changes are minimal from the TV. I believe this is the trinity killer. But sadly it didn't match the show. Anyway the story is solid and if you like Dexter. then this is good.
