Book Reviews of Dexter in the Dark (Vintage Crime/Black Lizard)
Book Review: Terrible
Summary: 1 Stars
About half-way through the book, Dexter and Deb have something like following exchange:
Dexter: "I'm painting a delicate canvas here."
Deb: "Paint faster."
At this point, I agreed with Deb, regarding this whole book. It's too long and too boring. All of the characters suddenly turn stupid. Jeff Lindsay thinks he's Henry James with all of the introspection, but it just comes off as pointless angst.
Summary of Dexter in the Dark (Vintage Crime/Black Lizard)
In his work as a Miami crime scene investigator, Dexter Morgan is accustomed to seeing evil deeds. . . particularly because, on occasion, he commits them himself. But Dexter's happy existence is turned upside down when he is called to an unusually disturbing crime scene at the university campus. Dexter's Dark Passenger - mastermind of his homicidal prowess - immediately senses something chillingly recognizable and goes into hiding. Dexter is alone for the first time in his life, and he realizes he's being hunted by a truly sinister adversary. Meanwhile he's planning a wedding and trying to learn how to be a stepfather to his fianc?'s two kids - who might just have dark tendencies themselves. Macabre, ironic, and wonderfully entertaining, Dexter in the Dark goes deeper into the psyche of one of the freshest protagonists in recent fiction.Contemporary Books
