“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.

Double Dexter

Jeffry P. Lindsay

A latest entry in the best-selling series finds forensic analyst and nighttime vigilante Dexter Morgan discovering that he is being followed by a killer who is copying his methods, an adversary who Dexter seeks to outmaneuver using his trademark knack for extricating himself from trouble.

A Novel

The sixth Dexter novel returns to the series roots, with Dexter cleaning up Miami one child-killer at a time, but complications arise when a witness spots him. The narration is polished and darkly humorous, with Dexter's character continuing to develop. The climax, which takes Dexter out of Miami, is particularly enjoyable. While the novel is one of the strongest in the series, the constant targeting of Dexter's family is becoming repetitive. More involvement from Deborah would have been welcome. Overall, it's a wonderfully entertaining installment that sets the stage for Dexter's Final Cut.

The overall mystery this time was pretty good, but I kind of can't stand Rita. It's unfortunate.

Everyone's favourite serial killer is back and deadlier than ever... 'Dexter has a way of getting under your skin. Wicked stuff' GUARDIAN A witness. Such a simple concept - and yet for Dexter Morgan, a perfectly well-disguised serial killer, the possibility of a witness is terrifying. As an upstanding blood-spatter analyst for the Miami Police, Dexter has always managed to keep the darker side of his life out of the spotlight. An expert at finding truly bad people - murderers who've long escaped justice - Dexter has long been giving them his own special brand of attention. But now someone has seen him in the act. Dexter is being followed, manipulated and mimicked, leading him to realise that no one likes to have a double - especially when his double's goal is to kill him. Dexter is not one to tolerate such displeasure ... in fact, he has a knack for extricating himself from trouble in his own pleasurable way.
