![]() ![]() ![]() The book is written from Dexter’s perspective and quite disturbingly by the end of the novel (and the TV series for that matter) you are on Dexter’s side and rooting in his corner. I should probably back up and explain what this is all about! Dexter Morgan is a serial killer with a code of honour who works for Miami police by day and kills murders and other criminals by night. The TV show is an excellent adaptation, and you can really feel the edge to the character that Jeff Lindsay depicts here. Darkly Dreaming Dexter is the first of 4 novels by Lindsay about Dexter and as far as I can tell the plot of Season 1 of the TV show follows this novel quite closely. ![]() Normally I would phrase this question the other way around but since I saw the show first that is the image I have of dear Mr Dexter Morgan. So how does the book measure up to the TV series. (For the grand sum of 1p on Amazon no less (ignoring the £2.80 I had to pay in postage!)) But what does any good book nerd do when she likes the TV show but has no more? She buys the book. I found the show incredibly engaging and I could have happily watched it all day… but Netflix only had up until Season 2 and that kinda stymied my party. ![]() James and I got a free one months subscription to Netflix, and, well, my evenings were lost to Mr Dexter. So I have become a bit of a Dexter addict. ![]()
