Darkly Dreaming Dexter
3 journalers for this copy...
Hardcover.
Meet Dexter, a polite wolf in sheep’s clothing...a monster who cringes at the site of blood...a serial killer whose one golden rule makes him immensely likable: he only kills bad people.
Dexter Morgan isn’t exactly the kind of man you’d bring home to Mom. Though he’s playful and has a wonderfully ironic sense of humor, Dexter’s one character flaw (his proclivity for murder) can be off-putting. But at heart Dexter is the perfect gentleman, supportive of his sister, Deb, a Miami cop, and interested only in doing away with people who really deserve his special visit. Dex is quite good-looking but totally indifferent to (and, frankly, a bit puzzled by) the attentions paid to him by women. Despite the fact that he can’t stand the sight of blood, he works as a blood-spatter analyst for the Miami police department, a job that allows him to keep tabs on the latest crimes and keep an eye open for his next quarry.
Dexter’s well-organized life is suddenly disrupted when a second, much more visible serial killer appears in Miami. Dex is intrigued, even delighted, by the fact that the other killer appears to have a style reminiscent of his own. Yet he can’t help but feel that the mysterious new arrival is not merely invading his turf, but reaching out to him as well. This new killer seems to be doing more than copying Dexter - he seems to be saying, “Come out and play.” Dexter’s secret life makes for a lonely existence...even a lovable monster can be intrigued by the prospect of finding a friend.

Fulfilling a wish for SciFisstrs. Enjoy!
Dexter arrived in Philly today :) I seen an eposide of Dexter on Showtime last week. Boy what an unusual character.Thank you Kel for sending me a wish. I really do appreciate it :)
finished reading last night. I liked the book. Different kind of killer there. I don't know if I should like him or think Dexter is got some messed up morals. Not to give too much away but the ending was a surprise but sloppy too.
I will be reading the next two books that are out about Dexter. He keeps it interesting. LOL!
