Jeff Lindsay Police Procedural Books Editorial Review
The inaugural book in Jeff Lindsay's Dexter series, Darkly Dreaming Dexter, paints a twisted portrait of a man with a dark secret. The protagonist, Dexter, outwardly appears cheerful, but beneath the facade, he is a remorseless killer. What sets this story apart is the author's artful portrayal of Dexter, his internal conflict, and the suspenseful narrative. The book artfully weaves between first and third person perspectives, delivering a nail-biting experience that keeps readers engaged. Despite the disturbing nature of the protagonist, readers find themselves rooting for him, drawn into a world where serial killing is justified – a notion that is both unsettling and intriguing. The plot takes a back seat to the exploration of Dexter's psyche, providing a unique appeal to the book. The dark humor interwoven throughout the suspenseful storyline has been lauded, with readers finding Dexter both disquieting and surprisingly likable. Many have expressed appreciation for Lindsay's writing style, acknowledging the darkly captivating portrayal of Dexter and his morally ambiguous actions. The character of Dexter, portrayed as charming and somewhat justified in his actions, adds an unusual and compelling layer to the narrative. While the book has been praised for its originality and suspense, some readers have found certain parts to be dry and the ending somewhat perplexing. Overall, the book has received commendation for its portrayal of a deeply flawed yet captivating protagonist, and an engaging narrative that balances suspense, thrills, and dark humor. **
