About this ebook
Dexter Morgan: forensic analyst, serial killer and ... family man?
As seen on TV - DEXTER: NEW BLOOD - major new drama
Miami's best-dressed serial killer is back and on the prowl, at least he would be if he could shake off his permanent shadow. Ever since their paths first crossed, Sergeant Doakes hasn't let Dexter Morgan out of his sight. Dexter may well be the Miami PD's blood-spatter analyst, but Sgt. Doakes has a pretty good idea of how Dex likes to spend his free time and he's determined to catch him in the act.
Dex hasn't killed in months and is getting twitchy. To throw Doakes off his scent, he's spending more time with Rita, his girlfriend. But no matter how many cosy nights they spend in front of the TV, Doakes is still watching.
Then a body turns up, horribly mutilated and barely alive. To trap the torturer, Doakes and Dexter will have to work together, if they can trust each other. It's a devil's pact and one of them will have to be the bait...

I thoroughly enjoyed the book as well as the TV series. I personally watched the show before the book just to give me an idea of what the characters look like. The book itself is mysterious, charming and offers an incomparable sense of escapism. By reading this book, you guiltily empathise with the serial killer and the reader almost becomes the sidekick. Having read the first book, the series has improved in my opinion. The jokes are sicker the crime is gorier and the story is more intriguing

Very enjoyable book, a change from the TV series, to be fair and although I enjoyed the TV series the books are better. Perhaps it's because some of the information in the books had to be tamed down for the viewers. Great book I recommend you try these even if you've already seen the series.

Love how Lindsay and Showtime decided to go their own ways. This book's brain blowing.
