Dexter By Design Dexter, 4 , Jeff Lindsay After the events of the previous book, Dexter Morgan is eager to resume his hobby of stalking violent criminals, but first, he must endure a honeymoon in Paris with his unsuspecting wife, Rita.

Debra, now a sergeant in the Miami-Dade Police Department's homicide unit, is torn between loyalty to Dexter and her duty as a police officer to arrest him. Day Four, fourth book done. I will admit that this one was much harder to get through than the previous three books.
There's not much good to say about this one. The story line is preposterous. Dexter just happens upon a crazy artist in Paris only to come home to find not one but two crazy artists running around Miami.
Add to that the forced storytelling devices used to add the kids to the fun again and I think Day Four, fourth book done. Add to that the forced storytelling devices used to add the kids to the fun again and I think I gave myself a headache from rolling my eyes. If this wasn't a Dexter Morgan book, you'd see a much lower ranking across the board on Goodreads and Amazon.
But, because it is a Dexter book penned by Jeff Lindsay, it gets a pass. Then you have the YouTube videos and mounting suspicion aimed at Dexter. More than five times our superhero sociopath should have been taken in for questioning, but no.
Everything is looked over by seasoned cops simply for the greater good. The television show, despite all its other flaws, gets this part right In the novels, I never once believed this character could exist for so long, hiding in plain sight.
I suppose that's why I didn't balk at the supernatural elements in Book Three elements that are completely absent from this book, by the way because everything else is equally farfetched in Lindsay's alternate-reality Miami.
But the Showtime series made Dexter a little more plausible, at least until Season Five. I would recommend this book for one reason and one only. Listen to it in audiobook, with Jeff Lindsay's narration, and get a kick out of how Lindsay delivers Doakes's "Motherfucker" lines.
Fucking hilarious. Laugh-out-loud, fall-out-your-seat funny. If you have an Audible account, I would say it's worth using your monthly credit on. Five stars for the performance, and two for the story. Three overall. In summation: Too many insane coincidences really killed this one for me. And that's all I have to say on the subject.

And Chutsky! Even a couple new speed bumps in Dexter's road. Still liking the series and Dexter's increasingly complicated quandary of human performance, but this one had a lot more rabbit runs, going up, down, all around, but without Dark Passenger for company.
I miss that interplay. So, this seemed slower even though Dex was all over the map, literally. On the other hand, I love the aesthetics of this one. The spectacle shows dedication to detail, which I appreciate.
The commen Doakes is back! The commentary about art makes for a delightful amuse-bouche. Rita takes the backseat, but Cody and Astor are making progress. But it's a slow road. All fake, all the time with only the short and far-too-rare intervals of razor-sharp reality to look forward to--and I was passing all this on to Cody, that small and damaged creature who stood up there so stiffly, watching with such intense focus for a hint of belonging that would never come.
Definitely finishing this series off this year. Hope the next one has more frolicking. Velvet Buzzsaw Ok so we are gonna ignore the supernatural part of book 3 because ew and we are gonna move on. Also is this review going to be Velvet Buzzsaw gifs? Mister Boy Scout.
Am I missing something? Feb 23, Eileen rated it liked it. I am not quite sure what to make of this. I felt like I was waiting to get into the thick of it but before I knew it, I finished the book - and I don't mean that in a good way. I think it's an improvement over Dexter in the Dark but I still don't think it's as good as the first two books in the series.
It lacks that dark, twisted humour that makes the Dexter books such fun, despite the fairly grim subject matter. I know a character needs to evolve and change, but I'm not liking much the n Hmm I know a character needs to evolve and change, but I'm not liking much the new-ish Dexter.
I mean, he pretty much whinges in this book, and that is just so unlike him. The event involving Deborah was pretty drastic as well and came out of the blue, and even though it would explain the change in her, it didn't feel quite right either. As for her partner, it felt like he was thrown in just to be a substitue Doakes, and then he was just as easily taken out. Look, it probably wasn't that bad overall; I was just hoping for more after the disaster that Dexter in the Dark was and I so wanted to see more of that delightful wickedness from the first two books.
