A fun rainy afternoon or before-bed read. The beginning is a bit slow and boring, but about 1/4 of the way in, the story and author's sense of humor really kick in. I loved the juxtaposition of Dexter's extremely gentlemanly, almost formal approach to life - his wry to really funny observations of what the stupid actual humans around him are up to - and the murderous, merciless proclivities of the Dark Passenger with whom he shares a body and brain.
