Dexter by Design

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Married life seems to agree with “the first serial killer who unabashedly solicits our love” (Entertainment Weekly)—the character that inspired the latest Showtime hit series Dexter: Resurrection.

“Wonderfully fresh and packed with just the right amount of grotesquerie and wry wit.”—USA Today

After his surprisingly glorious honeymoon in Paris, life is almost normal for Dexter Morgan. He’s devoted to his bride, his stomach is full, and his homicidal hobbies are nicely under control.

But old habits die hard—and Dexter’s work as a blood spatter analyst never fails to offer new temptations that appeal to his offbeat sense of justice. Not to mention that his Dark Passenger still waits to hunt with him in the moonlight. The discovery of a corpse (artfully displayed as a sunbather relaxing on a Miami beach chair) naturally piques Dexter’s curiosity and Miami’s finest realize they’ve got a terrifying new serial killer on the loose. And Dexter, of course, is back in business.

Look for all of Jeff Lindsay’s deliciously twisted Dexter novels:
DARKLY DREAMING DEXTER • DEARLY DEVOTED DEXTER • DEXTER IN THE DARK • DEXTER BY DESIGN • DEXTER IS DELICIOUS • DOUBLE DEXTER • DEXTER’S FINAL CUT • DEXTER IS DEAD

Critic reviews

"Hilarious black humor." —USA TODAY

"Maybe the first serial killer who unabashedly solicits our love." —Entertainment Weekly

Raves for Jeff Lindsay's Dexter by Design

“The best of Dexter’s four adventures to date, the trademark mixture of amusement and horror complemented by a genuinely suspenseful plot.” —Kirkus (starred review)

“Dexter is a brilliant creation, a monster who walks like a man, a homicidal maniac who only kills people who deserve it, a simulacrum of a human being who has had to learn how to fake his way through the intricacies of human interaction. There is a popular television series about the character, but a TV show can’t capture the nuances of Lindsay’s writing, the subtleties of Dexter’s delightfully deranged mind…Like a lightly comic version of Hannibal Lecter, Dexter is a genuinely memorable, disturbingly compelling antihero.” —Booklist

Another great book

This book was just as well written and told like the other books before this one!! Highly recommended it!!!!

Great book

It's a good book to listen while driving or while going for a run. Well recommended.

Back to being amazing. probably my favorite Dexter

My favorite dexter so far. Twist and turns and pure nerveracking fun. Also loved the fact it touched on all the main characters so far, Deb,Chutsky,Doakes, the kids Rita. and even the bad guys were great, by far Dexter's toughest so far. highly recommended

Great book.

I Loved it! I cant wait to read/listen to the next book by Jeff Lindsay

I wish Dexter's Dark Passenger helped him with what to say to get out of those tough interrogation situations.

The loud voice used for Debra and Astor. I am constantly turning down the volume.
