Darkly Dreaming Dexter (Dexter Series #1)

From acclaimed author Jeff Lindsay, one of the most exciting voices to explode onto the literary scene in years, comes the tale of a serial killer like no other. Darkly Dreaming Dexter is macabre yet wickedly funny, a wildly original novel that entertains from beginning to end.

"It's been years since there's been a thriller debut as original as this one by Lindsay … fresh as dawn."—Publishers Weekly

The New York Times - Marilyn Stasio

The plot has some nice twists, and the Miami setting contributes its own eccentric flavor. But the real appeal of this macabre tour-de-force is Dexter's sardonic voice, so snappy and smart, and yet so full of self-loathing that we hate ourselves for laughing.

Jeff Lindsay is the author of Darkly Dreaming Dexter. He lives in South Florida with his wife and three daughters.
