Chronicle Concering Books Dearly Devoted Dexter (Dexter #2)
See alternate cover edition: here He's a charming monster... A macabre hero... A serial killler who only kills bad people. Dexter Morgan has been under considerable pressure. It's just not easy being an ethical serial killer - especially while trying to avoid the unshakable suspicions of the dangerous Sergeant Doakes (who believes Dexter is a homicidal maniac...which, of course, he is). In an attempt to throw Doakes off his trail, Dexter has had to slip deep into his foolproof disguise. While not working as a blood-spatter analyst for the Miami Police Department, he now spends nearly all his time with his cheerful girlfriend, Rita, and her two children, sipping light beer and slowly becoming the world's first serial couch potato. But how long can Dexter play Kick the Can instead of Slice the Slasher? How long before his Dark Passenger forces him to drop the charade and let his inner monster run free? In trying times, opportunity knocks. A particularly nasty psychopath is cutting a trail through Miami - a man whose twisted technique leaves even Dexter speechless. As Dexter's dark appetite is revived, his sister, Deborah (a newly minted, tough-as-nails Miami detective), is drawn headlong into the case. It quickly becomes clear that it will take a monster to catch a monster - but it isn't until his archnemesis is abducted that Dex can finally throw himself into the search for a new plaything. Unless, of course, his plaything finds him first... With the incredible wit and freshness that drew widespread acclaim to Darkly Dreaming Dexter, Jeff Lindsay now takes Dexter Morgan to a new level of macabre appeal and gives us one of the most original, colorful narrators in years.Describe Regarding Books Dearly Devoted Dexter (Dexter #2)

Dexter is being followed by Sergeant Doakes, preventing him from doing what he does. He tools around. Dexter gets sucked into an investigation with his sister, when she seems to fall for a fed from a super secret agency. It seems they are trying to find a guy known for dirty tricks in the dirty wars in Central America. I kept expecting to see Doc Ford make an appearance.It's okay, but Dexter really isn't my thing."Freedom is such a fragile, fleeting thing, isn't it?"I think I have enjoyed more this one than the first one. Dexter is great. I love how he thinks; he is so funny! (view spoiler)[It must be difficult not to have feelings but on my opinion he is really good at faking to be a human being (hide spoiler)]With this second book of the series, we can discover a little bit more about his life. (view spoiler)[I can't believe he is getting married! Although I think he will do it to "teach" Cody... Would
(B+) 78% | GoodNotes: Charming yet gross, but not disturbingly so; there's little immediacy as Dexter's never really threatened or in danger.
Reread for me, several years after the initial read. I listened to the audiobook this time around, which gave the book a little extra something.I enjoyed this, but the TV show was better in my opinion. That said, I still very much enjoyed this audiobook as it was read out by the author himself.
Rating: 4 creepy starsTrigger: This is Dexter, all bets are off.Short review: This is Miami and our poor Dexter is going through some serious drama. He can't hunt since Doakes is on his tail and someone is selecting people and turning into 'yodeling potato'. This crazy person is playing hangman in very twisted way, I was disappointed this monster's death was so easy. oh Dr Danco...Review in image/gif: Recommended: YesAftermath: (possible spoilers) I still am confused how Dexter is engaged! that
Second day of my Dexter Morgan marathon and Book Two is done. Have I mentioned how much I love Audible's x3 narration speed? Well, it really isn't x3, as an eight hour book still took four hours to listen to, but it's still a quick way to barrel through a series of short books. This is the point where I started enjoying the show more than the novels. Doakes has a much better role in the Showtime series. Of course, this is solely my opinion. I do understand why the Showtime series decided to go a
