Latest adventure featuring our favorite serial killer - Dexter Morgan. While on the surface he appears to be a normal family man who works for the Miami PD blood-spatter expert at night he kills evil people in his spare time. Yes, you might find yourself cheering on the killer but he only kills really bad people.
While serving up brutal justice to his latest victim (a serial child abuser and killer), Dexter was seen. He barely caught a glimpse of the car as it sped away, but he knows that somewhere out there is a witness. At first he panics, but then his cold, clinical side takes over, and he thinks: I work for the police department, and in my hidden life, I'm an expert at tracking down people who don't want to be found. So he decides: he'll find the witness and dispense with him.
But Dexter underestimated the witness has he discovers that he might just be as devious and maybe even more so than Dexter. As at every turn Dexter is one step behind and then finds himself implicated in a coworker's murder.
Dexter is one of my favorite series and I always am ready for the new book to come out. This did take me awhile to get into as much of the book is him self-evaluating the situations. Plus his wife Rita just drives me nuts by how badly she communicates and she's seemed to have become a closet alcoholic. But thankfully this book ends with the right amount of craziness and violence that makes us read on. Plus as my former carpooler would say "there is a great shark scene".
