Dexter is Delicious

When I picked up the first Dexter Morgan book, I never thought that I would enjoy reading about a serial killer. Or even "sympathizing" with a serial killer! Dexter is Delicious by Jeff Lindsay is the fifth novel in the series starring Dexter Morgan, a blood spatter expert with the Miami Police Department. Dexter is basically an okay guy--he only kills people who deserve it (like rapists, child molesters and murderers)--and he makes sure that they know why they are being eliminated from life. All is good in Dexter's life until his sister, Detective Deborah Morgan, is placed in charge of a child kidnapping case. As Deborah enlists Dexter's help in locating Samantha, they stumble onto a ring of cannibals and torturers. Meanwhile, Dexter tries hard to fit in to society and act like a normal human being, while hiding his Dark Passenger killing side. This book is certainly not for the squeamish, but if you can come to grips with the fact that you like Dexter, you'll certainly enjoy this book. Darkly Dreaming Dexter is the first book in the series--check it out and let us know if you like it!
