Search - Dexter in the Dark (Dexter, Bk 3)

If this is where the books are heading, I will stick with the show alone. The first two books were a fun, good read. This one got all science fiction-ish. I did not care for the changes in writing style. The story was lame, and I was glad when it ended. I am going to read the fourth book, out of respect to the series, but if it is no better than this, I am done with them. Luckily, the show went off on its own path.

This has some of the charm of the earlier Dexter novels, but I found the exploration into the nature and origin of Dexter's "Dark Passenger" rather boring. I found myself skimming these sections.

I enjoyed this book more than the 2nd book. In this 3rd installment, the Dark Passenger leaves Dexter, and he is essentially left "In the Dark" Dexter and Deborah are chasing a killer who is burning his victims and relacing their heads with ceramic bull heads. Dexter does his remarkable research and uncovers the truth about the Dark Passenger, how it came to him, and how to get it back. Dexter and Rita are planning their wedding, and Cody and Astor are soon learning that they have Dark Passengers of their own.

I am really enjoying these books so much I bought the 4th one right away. If anyone is a fan of the show, you should read these books. The first book is mirrored in Season 1 Of "Dexter" However the rest of the books are different from the tv show. So its basically like your getting a double dose of Dexter stories. These books are keepers IMO.

This book was a little slow getting started but still an excellent read!

This is the third book in the series and I really enjoyed it..it took a little turn into the paranormal, but overall, it was an exciting and good read. Can't wait to read #4!

This is the third Dexter book in the series. Not my favorite one. I felt it focused too much on the Dark Passenger and not enough of the actual storyline. I found myself skimming through the rants about the Dark Passenger. Loved the first two books but not so much this one. Hope the other ones are better than this one.
