Dexter Morgan: forensic analyst, serial killer and ... family man?The killer character that inspired the hit TV series.Miami's best-dressed serial killer is back and on the prowl, at least he would be if he could shake off his permanent shadow. Ever since their paths first crossed, Sergeant Doakes hasn't let Dexter Morgan out of his sight. Dexter may well be the Miami PD's blood-spatter analyst, but Sgt. Doakes has a pretty good idea of how Dex likes to spend his free time and he's determined to catch him in the act.Dex hasn't killed in months and is getting twitchy. To throw Doakes off his scent, he's spending more time with Rita, his girlfriend. But no matter how many cosy nights they spend in front of the TV, Doakes is still watching. Then a body turns up, horribly mutilated and barely alive. To trap the torturer, Doakes and Dexter will have to work together, if they can trust each other. It's a devil's pact and one of them will have to be the bait... Review: Dark. Humour. Gripping - If you’ve been a fan of Dexter series you’ll love this one. If this is your first Dexter book, you,l still love it. It doesn’t carry any baggage from the first book. Review: Ending is disappointing - Books ending is Bad.

A must read series only if you haven't watched 'Dexter'
What makes this sequel so compelling is the author’s masterful handling of Dexter's internal monologue. The book is narrated with a relentless, twisted wit that provides a darkly comedic lens through which to view humanity and morality. The pace is excellent, weaving Dexter’s personal development with the terrifying new case, which ties directly into the mysterious military past of his nemesis, Sergeant Doakes. The narrative balance between grim suspense and black humor is expertly maintained, ensuring the story never becomes too heavy despite the extreme subject matter. While Dexter’s character is richly developed, some secondary characters feel underdeveloped and less engaging. It’s not for the faint-hearted as the violence and psychological tension are intense but it’s a smart, suspenseful follow-up that deepens Dexter’s world. If you have liked the first book or the TV series, you will find this sequel both satisfying and disturbingly entertaining.

the novelty book
my friends and some fan say the show is much better than the book, and i think maybe its the truth. like them i love the TV version of Dexter so much and i think the show is better, but i still like this one too. all the supporting characters from the show are here. They are almost the same as the show.[the half-Japanese character Masuka on the show is Masuoka in the book] like the show Dexter is fairly likeable because he only kills the really bad guys and his life is going along nicely until another serial killer emerges in Miami. i have to admit that i felt like something is missing in the book, but i think thats because i already had seen the great show. and the show is too great. ithink thanks to the show the books series are underrated. maybe it's not a great literature, but its humorous and grabbing. To be fair, the book version of Dexter is one of the most original and gripping books ive ever read. if you really like the show, try the book, i think its worth it PS. Dexter series are not for young children

Un villano interesante
Sabia que hay bastantes diferencias entre la serie y el libro, una lastima que no hayan usado a Dr. Danco como villano principal en algunas de las temporadas. Como el primero, buen libro, bien manejado el suspenso.

Intrigante e (levemente) viciante
Este segundo volume da série de livros "Dexter" pouco ou nada se assemelha ao enredo da série de TV. Há que se fazer um esforço para não "misturar" as histórias quando optar pela leitura das obras ou assistir à série. Assim como o livro anterior, o volume 2 da série é intrigante e (levemente) viciante. Foi uma leitura mais "pesada" pra mim do que o volume 1. Isto porque, confesso, fiquei um pouco aturdida com a riqueza de detalhes dos crimes cometidos por Dr. Danco. Mas não deve afetar tanto aqueles não tão impressionáveis... Recomendo (com ressalva aos mais sensíveis/impressionáveis).
