I have been a fan of the Dexter TV show on Showtime since it started several years ago and have read one other book in the series - Dexter By Design by Lindsay. This novel is the first in the series and it pretty much is the basis for the first season of the TV show. However, there are some major differences - especially at the ending of the novel and I don't want to give anything away if you have seen the TV version. Anyway, overall, I enjoyed the novel; however, I think the TV show is better. Usually, a novel will flesh out the characters and storyline better, but in this case, I think the TV show is superior. Maybe it's because the show used the entire first season to portray this first novel. I need to read some more of the series to see how they compare.
