Double Dexter

A Novel

By: Jeff Lindsay

Narrated by: Jeff Lindsay

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A deadly duel unfolds for “the first serial killer who unabashedly solicits our love” (Entertainment Weekly)—the character that inspired the latest Showtime hit series Dexter: Resurrection.

Dexter is displeased. Like any self-respecting, totally decent, soundly homicidal guy, Dexter Morgan takes great pride in his work and is careful to remain anonymous. So he is, naturally, upset to discover that someone has identified him and—worst of all—is now turning his own methods against him.

The situation soon becomes more complicated when a brutal cop-killer begins targeting Miami’s police detectives—leaving behind bodies that are battered beyond recognition—and stoking the department’s worst fears. As his colleagues grow more paranoid of the psychotic killer in their midst, Dexter’s position is increasingly perilous. He is running out of time to track down this copycat and deliver his usual special justice, before his dark hobby is revealed to the world.

RAVES FOR JEFF LINDSAY’S ORIGINAL DEXTER NOVELS

“[A] macabre tour-de-force.” —New York Times Book Review

“Lindsay’s original, cockeyed view of the world is alive and well.” —Los Angeles Times

“Delicious and delightful might not be the best words to describe a serial killer. Unless, of course, we’re talking about the delectable Dexter Morgan. . . . Lindsay, the novelist, just keeps getting better.” —USA Today

Doting Daddy Dexter Delivers D'goods!

I have all the Dexter novels and this one is pretty good. Dexter is at that revolting stage of parenthood where he thinks they should hand out noble prizes for burping. Revolting but funny and I choose to believe adorable in self defence. Dexter is in a pickle trying to be a dedicated daddy and husband in the middle of coming the closest ever to being exposed as the dark avenger. Which among other things lands him in the middle of the wilderness on a Boy Scout camping trip that almost made coffee squirt out of my nose. My one complaint is that the self descriptive internal monologging got to be a bit much. Dexter the dark, Dexter the dangerous, Dexter the devious, Dexter of the enormous brain, Dexter the extremely long winded to the point of more than a few eye rolls and an unkind thought or two about the author using it to fill pages. Overall though I enjoyed it very much.

One of the best

Thought thus was one of the best story lines in the series. Too bad this one couldn't have made the TV series

Damn Dexter is Dazzeling!!!

I absolutely love the witty humor and darkness that Dexter demonstrates. I could dance the dark dance in castle dexter for decades. Days after reading Dexter I'm drawn back to the darkness over and over.

Not as good as the others

I am a fan of this series, but this book was my least favorite thus far. Lindsey got a little wordy, and he got very repetitive with the same overused adjectives/adverbs from the previous books like dithering and blubbering and dimpled. I also felt that there should've been more thought put into the story. For example, Dexter was a person of interest and he was shocked that someone would be following him...ummm...like the cops, maybe?

Jeff never disappoints

This book kept me on edge of seat from the first line. It was so hard not to listen never dull
