Perfect for you if...

You want a thriller with genuine dark humour that doesn't apologise for making you root for a protagonist who murders people.
You've watched the Dexter TV series and want to revisit the character in his original form, sharper and more unpredictable than the screen version.
You like crime procedurals but find traditional police work boring without a morally compromised narrator pulling the strings.

Maybe not for you if...

You're squeamish about detailed descriptions of violence or need your protagonists to have unambiguous moral codes.
You prefer psychological thrillers where the killer's inner life remains opaque rather than narrated in first person.
You want standalone novels instead of the second book in a series that builds on character dynamics from the first.

About this book

Dexter Morgan is a serial killer who works for the Miami police department. To avoid suspicion, he maintains a disguise by spending time with his girlfriend and her children, living an increasingly ordinary life. When a particularly brutal psychopath begins killing in Miami using twisted techniques, Dexter's sister Deborah—a police detective—becomes involved in the case. This forces Dexter out of hiding to hunt down the killer, though the killer may find him first. The novel is part of Jeff Lindsay's Dexter series, which also includes Darkly Dreaming Dexter, Dexter in the Dark, Dexter by Design, Dexter Is Delicious, Double Dexter, Dexter's Final Cut, and Dexter Is Dead.
