Linda S. (Ladyslott) reviewed on 11/7/2007 + 113 more book reviews

I was looking forward to this book after having heard many good things about it. Unfortunately I was disappointed.

The storyline revolves around Dexter Morgan, a blood splatter specialist for the Miami police department. Oh by the way he is also a serial killer, but a good one because he only kills bad people.

While I liked some parts of the Dexter character, in particular his very funny internal dialogues, the rest of the characters in the book were either annoying or stereotypical. Dexter's sister is also a police officer but she was quite whiny. The lead Homicide Detective was a woman who was pretty and got her job through who she knew not what she knew. She was unfailingly stupid and an unbelievable character. The book was also marred by a very confusing and rushed ending. I won't be moving on in the series.
