Product Description:
“One of the most likable vigilante serial killers” (The New Yorker) faces his ultimate adversary…an evil so terrifying it scares away Dexter’s inner monster—and nearly dries up his sense of humor—in this wickedly witty, darkly suspenseful novel.
In his work as a Miami crime scene investigator, Dexter Morgan is accustomed to seeing evil deeds…particularly because, on occasion, he rather enjoys committing them himself. Guided by his Dark Passenger (the reptilian voice inside him), he lives his outwardly normal life adhering to one simple rule: he kills only very bad people. Dexter slides through life undetected, working as a blood spatter analyst for the Miami Police Department, helping his fiancé raise her two adorable (if somewhat…unique) children, and always planning his next jaunt as Dexter the Dark Avenger under the light of the full moon.
But then everything changes. Dexter is called to a crime scene that seems routine: a gruesome double homicide at the university campus, which Dexter would normally investigate with gusto, before enjoying a savory lunch. And yet this scene feels terribly wrong. Dexter’s Dark Passenger senses something it recognizes, something utterly chilling, and the Passenger—mastermind of Dexter’s homicidal prowess—promptly goes into hiding.
With his Passenger on the run, Dexter is left to face this case all alone—not to mention his demanding sister (Sergeant Deborah), his frantic fiancée (Rita), and the most frightening wedding caterer ever to plan a menu. Equally unsettling, Dexter begins to realize that something very dark and very powerful has its sights set on him. Dexter is left in the dark, but he must summon his sharpest investigative instincts not only to pursue his enemy, but to locate and truly understand his Dark Passenger. To find him, Dexter has to research the questions he’s never dared ask: Who is the Dark Passenger, and where does he come from? It is nothing less than a search for Dexter’s own dark soul…fueled by a steady supply of fresh doughnuts.
Macabre, ironic, and wonderfully entertaining, Dexter in the Dark goes deeper into the psyche of one of the freshest protagonists in recent fiction. Jeff Lindsay’s glorious creativity is on full display in his most accomplished novel yet.

The first two Dexter novels were thrilling, fast-paced, thought-provoking, pleasantly over-the-top serial killer mysteries. This one was not any of those.
First, this is not a stand alone novel. If you have not read the first two, you will be lost trying to decipher this one.
Dexter is a serial killer who plays by the rules. Trained by his foster father policeman father, he only kills other serial killers. This is an ingenious formula that works well as long as there ... Read More

Though this book was an interesting read, after reading the first two books and watching the series, I am quite disappointed that Dexter In The Dark had to go into the realm of the supernatural as a core of its plot. I agree with the readers who feel that this book causes the series to lose its consistency by going from fiction to (borderline)science-fiction.

Jeff Lindsay must have read a book or watched a movie recently that spawned a wild hair, because he decided to take Dexter somewhere he hasn't been before and it doesn't seem fitting. It does not feel natural or planned. I do not believe that Lindsay had this plan all along. I suppose he could have, but this sudden turn will throw fans off the ride.
This book is very entertaining and it would have worked well if it was the first of the series or an alternate graphic novel done years after ... Read More

As much as I enjoyed the first two books in this series... I just didn't like this one. In this third installment, Dexter's Dark Passenger becomes its own being, and goes AWOL. I preferred thinking of the Dark Passenger as just a voice in Dexter's head, not some amorphous lizard thing that makes relatively normal people want to kill. It just rubbed me the wrong way. The Dark Passenger's absence does create some interesting inner conflict for Dexter, but I think Lindsay just went about it the wrong way. ... Read More
