Well presented, showing you the underlying thought processes behind Dexter’s Dark Passenger that the TV programme is unable to do.Ĭan’t wait to read the next instalment in the series. There are enough differences in it to make it fresh, give it a different separate twist that won’t make you think, “That didn’t happen”, and an ending completely removed from the TV show that will make you rush straight out to the nearest book store to find out what happens next. If you have seen the programme you will not be disappointed at all in this book. If the police can’t catch them legally then Dexter is willing to help his way. He can only kill bad people, people who have also killed. He too is a serial killer, one with a code. His hunches often leading to the killer ceasing his crimes one way or another. Many of the times he can read the killer more accurately then any profiler. It follows a Miami forensic, a blood splatter specialist, who helps the Miami police solve crimes through his ability to read crime scenes from the blood that’s found at the crime scenes. The show closely follows the novel for the majority with many of the characters acting the way they do in the book, albeit described differently from the way they are portrayed on screen, but this doesn’t detract at all from the story.įor anybody who hasn’t read one of the Dexter novels, or watched the show, the story is a simple if not intriguingly original one. I will definitely be adding them to my collection in the near future. I absolutely loved the show, one of my faves. I must admit I watched the entire series of Dexter before I even picked up one of Lindsay’s novels. Darkly Dreaming Dexter is a 2004 novel by Jeff Lindsay, the first in his series about serial killer Dexter Morgan.
