Product Details

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

In Lindsay's third novel to feature endearing Miami cop and serial killer Dexter Morgan (after 2005's Darkly Devoted Dexter), the Dark Passenger, the voice inside Dexter's head that from time to time drives him to the Theme Park of the Unthinkable, inexplicably disappears while Morgan is investigating a gruesome double murder on the University of Miami campus. The crime scene, at which two co-eds were ritualistically burned and beheaded, gives even the human vivisection–loving vigilante the creeps. As the burned and beheaded body count continues to mount, Morgan realizes that the force behind the killings is something even more evil than his Dark Passenger. Though the macabre wit that powered the first two installments of this delightfully dark series (also a hit on TV's Showtime) is still evident, this third entry takes a decidedly deep introspective turn as Dexter is forced to contemplate not only life without his enigmatic companion but also who—or what—he truly is. (Sept.)

From AudioFile

This third outing of serial killer Dexter Morgan has something new for the oddly affecting and strangely likable blood-splatter expert. (Dexter kills only people who deserve to be killed, especially other serial killers.) Narrator Nick Landrum uses a sneering, wicked, and twisted adolescent tone to imbue DexterÕs take on his impending marriage, which will also involve his becoming a stepfather. Landrum expertly allows anxiety to seep into DexterÕs narrative as the ever present voice in his head, called Òthe Dark Passenger,Ó leaves him just when he needs him most. Is Dexter, for the first time in his life, feeling something for another human being? Why should we care? Because narrator Landrum makes us.

1.0 out of 5 stars Dexter Finds Religion, Sep 26 2008
By Prairie "Sh3Wolf" (Calgary, AB, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dexter in the Dark (Paperback)
This third novel is a complete disappointment. It's boring - with nothing more happening than Dexter whining and moaning page after page. The sole interesting aspect is Lindsay revealing a banal religious self-righteous attitude that states "gods" other than his own are, of course, "the devil". And, superstitiously, the devil is responsible for psychological aberrations - or evil.

Instead of being a fun and fascinating look into one man's abnormal personality, it becomes a lame adaptation of "the devil made me do it".

For the first time in history a tv series far outshines a novel series. Lindsay has made tv better than books . . .

3.0 out of 5 stars "Dexterman" should be the title of this novel., Jan 2 2008
This review is from: Dexter in the Dark: A Novel (Hardcover)
In the third novel of the Dexter trilogy, Jeff Lindsay transforms the genius serial killer into a Hollywood superhero. I enjoyed the same humour and the same gripping storyline that really seems to unfold in the final two chapters (which seems to be a Jeff Lindsay signature), however, this is not the Dexter that readers of the novels and viewers of the hit TV series came to know and grew to love. This could be anyone who struggles with an identity crisis. The story of Cody and Astor (the kids) is also played out and much of the focus is placed insignificant events and paranormal sub-plots. I hope that there is a 4th Dexter novel and I also hope that it is nothing like this one. It is still worth reading the same way fans of the Godfather should still have seen Part 3, however, this analogy says it all.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a bad book, despite others' reviews, Sep 5 2009
By Steph "Prd2BCdn" (Barrie, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dexter in the Dark (Paperback)
Not as "wow" as the other Dexter books in the series, but worth the few hours it takes to read it! I enjoyed it - Dexter's character is dark, but when his darkness flees, he's left as helpless and as confused as anyone who has lost their purpose. If you're a fan of the series, I would recommend it. If you're not, read the first couple books first and get to know Dex... it's hard not to get hooked!

Jeff Lindsay lost his touch a little in the book. It was long, and didn't really have the edge that the first two had.
