This was my favorite of the three in the series. In the Dark begins to explain the origins of the Dark Passenger and delves into the big question the reader has been asking themselves since page one of the first book -- is Dexter a good guy or a bad guy? If you kill bad guys, does that make you good? While investigating a series of homicides, Dexter learns more about himself and the long standing relationship he has with the Dark Passenger, that part of his personlity that he sees as himself but also as a seperate entity. There was a bit of biblical history brought into the investigation, as well, which was a new twist that we didn't see in the previous two books. The character of Dexter developed quite a bit more in this novel. I found the last chapter to be espcially hilarious in a Dexter sort of way! See if you interpret it the same way I did...
