Darkly Dreaming Dexter [2]
Author/Artist: Jeff Lindsay
Warning: Descriptions of Graphic Violence
Summary:
The first in the dark mystery series that inspired the hit Shotime show,
Darkly Dreaming Dexter introduces Dexter Morgan. He's a respected blood
spatter specialist for the Miami Police Department and a serial
killer! Trained by his foster policeman foster father to kill only those that
deserve it, Dexter lives and murders by a strict code.
Review:
Allowed to narrate his own story, Dexter's voice is chilling and logical. If
you like dark mysteries, you'll love this book. The tone of many of the
chapters is almost philosophical as Dexter waxes poetic about what it means
to be a monster.
