Dexter in the Dark
Dexter in the Dark | Jeff Lindsay
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.This edition includes an excerpt from Jeff Lindsay's Dexter's Final Cut.

This is the third book in the series and there is a typo in the quote from The New York Times Book Review. That‘s not my review it‘s just me being annoyed. I watched the first six seasons of Dexter when it was streaming on Amazon Prime Video but now it‘s back on Showtime and I can‘t watch the other seasons. I listened to the first book in the series in 2020, but it‘s just this year that I‘ve started listening to the other books. I have to (cont)⬇️

CatLass007 say that what happened to Sergeant Doakes in the TV show was not nearly as horrible as what happened in the books. I‘ve started to notice some annoying things in the books. The books are narrated by the author. Dexter tells his story in the first person and at other times refers to himself as Dexter. He refers to his Dark Passenger as another character. And in this book the Dark Passenger actually becomes a different entity. I don‘t know (cont)⬇️ 3mo
CatLass007 what point the author is trying to make with all his talk of the “elder god,” Molok. When Dexter sees the first two victims, the Dark Passenger becomes terrified and runs away and hides, recognizing that it is the work of a Dark Passenger who is much more old and powerful than Dexter‘s Dark Passenger. So are we really supposed to believe that the other Dark Passenger is the 3,000 year old god Molok? Are we supposed to believe that Dexter (cont)⬇️ 3mo
CatLass007 is possessed by a demon? I enjoy almost every genre there is but when this book goes on a totally different tangent than the first two books, I find myself more than a little annoyed and confused. I‘m still giving this a pick because what‘s going on inside Dexter‘s head is still creepy and darkly humorous. 3mo

CatLass007 I‘m also noticing that almost every female character has a really nasal voice, except for Rita. Astor and Debra sound exactly alike, nasal and angry. 3mo
Larkken I read this one this year too and agree, some of the wider implications of the Molok thing made me uncomfortable. I did enjoy it while I was listening though, even if it got a little long. And poor Doakes!! 3mo
CatLass007 @Larkken I have all the books in the series, so I‘ve decided to run through them one after another so I can scratch them off my list. I just finished the fourth one and will review it soon. I‘m not listening to the for any mystery I‘m listening to it for the twisted humor. That‘s what‘s keeping my attention. 3mo

I love Dexter's character and the witty banter of these books, but this is the third in the series and the writing felt forced. Dexter's Dark Passenger is missing, he's trying to settle into family life, and he discovers that Cody and Astor have a secret of their own.

Enjoyable, but not as good as the previous two books.

10-27-21: My 107th finished book of 2021! Dexter Morgan is back in this third installment of the series. Dexter is a blood spatter expert with the Miami police force and a serial killer. But, he only kills the ones who truly deserve it. The big case this time has people being burned and beheaded and left with a ceramic bull‘s head instead. Dexter and his sister, Sergeant Deb are on the case, while Dexter is learning how to be a Stepdad. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

#QuotsyJan20 #Monday

“In my lifelong study of human beings, I have found that no matter how hard they try, they have found no way yet to prevent the arrival of Monday morning. And they do try, of course, but Monday always comes, and all the drones have to scuttle back to their dreary workday lives of meaningless toil and suffering. “

Loved the HBO series but haven‘t read the books. Great Monday quote though! 😉

CourtSmall The books are different ie who lives/dies who knows/doesnt know about Dexter's little hobby. I wasn't a fan of the authors writing style but I loved the series itself. If you've watched the show you will realise some of the dark passenger quotes/narration are straight out of the book 4y

It's not a bad series but I'm always left with some questions even the sequels don't answer.
*sigh* Never mind. I'll read the next book anyway.
