Dexter in the Dark

NATIONAL BESTSELLER - 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. Dexter's happy existence is turned upside down when he is called to an unusually disturbing crime scene at the university campus. - The Killer Character That Inspired the Hit Showtime Series Dexter

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 fiancé'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 fiction.

This book made no sense, and it did not make sense even after reading it. It has a more supernatural vibe, which is just randomly brought into a fairly non-supernatural series. Thankfully, it returns to normal in the fourth book, but this book was a painful read. Overall, the series is good, though

I really enjoyed this break from the expected story of Dexter. Sure, the supernatural twist took some of the mystery out of who Dexter is...but it didn't ruin the story for me. In fact, this book solidified the separation between the novels and the Showtime TV series for me.
