Dexter in the Dark

Der veränderte Schreibstil hat mich rund 30 Seiten lang verwirrt, nachdem ich mich aber an ihn gewöhnt habe: 

Richtiger charakterlicher Fortschritt bzw. mehr Tiefe und genau so viel Humor wie sonst! Exquisit!

Briar's Reviews

Almost a decade ago, I started the Dexter television series and the book series at the same time. I thoroughly enjoyed both of them as they are honestly both fantastic in their own mediums. Michael C. Hall was (and still is) the perfect Dexter in my mind, and it gave a nice face to the character I was following in the books.

As things go, book 3 was impossible to find. At the time I was getting to reading it, it was sold out online and I could not find it anywhere. Since I am who I am, I was not interested in bootlegging it and decided it was now a chase (one of my first "chases" to be honest). I waited years and looked everywhere, deciding I wanted to find it at a local book store and not a chain book store, but it never happened (and honestly, sometimes I Just forgot about it - life gets busy). Then this wonderful Christmas, a family member of mine bought the book! It was magical, and I jumped on it not long after I got it. And now book four is close by and I'm itching to read it...

Another round of Dexter Morgan is featured in this book. There's eerie murders going on where people are getting beheaded. It seems like a ritual, but no one wants to believe Dexter. And to top it off? His Dark Passenger is MIA! That makes things so much more difficult, and there's a hint of someone following Dexter.... But he's enjoying his family life, so this isn't the best time for a stalker, just saying.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I really like Jeff Lindsay's writing and I'm just curious how the book series is going to go. It's a little odd with the supernatural aspect to it (it feels out of place), but it doesn't bother me. I'm just going to keep moving through this series and enjoying the fast paced ride it is. It's just a book that vibes well with me (go figure it's a book about murderering people... probably not in my best interests to admit how glued I was to this book... but it's only fiction!.... I mean, Dexter did inspire a killer....Nope. I'm just gonna stop there. Well written book. Yup).

Four out of five stars.

In his work as a Miami crime scene investigator, Dexter Morgan is accustomed to seeing evil deeds. . . particularly because, on occasion, he commits them himself. But Dexter's happy existence is turned upside down when he is called to an unusually disturbing crime scene at the university campus. Dexter's Dark Passenger – mastermind of his homicidal prowess – immediately senses something chillingly recognizable and goes into hiding. Dexter is alone for the first time in his life, and he realizes he's being hunted by a truly sinister adversary. Meanwhile he's planning a wedding and trying to learn how to be a stepfather to his fiancé's two kids – who might just have dark tendencies themselves. Macabre, ironic, and wonderfully entertaining, Dexter in the Dark goes deeper into the psyche of one of the freshest protagonists in recent fiction. This edition includes an excerpt from Jeff Lindsay's Dexter's Final Cut.

Same as the others, but this time I cared way more about the Dexter, Astor, and Cody storyline than the murders. Oops.
