Synopsis

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Married life seems to agree with “the first serial killer who unabashedly solicits our love” (Entertainment Weekly)—the character that inspired the hit Showtime series Dexter and Dexter: Original Sin.

“Wonderfully fresh and packed with just the right amount of grotesquerie and wry wit.”—USA Today

After his surprisingly glorious honeymoon in Paris, life is almost normal for Dexter Morgan. He’s devoted to his bride, his stomach is full, and his homicidal hobbies are nicely under control.

But old habits die hard—and Dexter’s work as a blood spatter analyst never fails to offer new temptations that appeal to his offbeat sense of justice. Not to mention that his Dark Passenger still waits to hunt with him in the moonlight. The discovery of a corpse (artfully displayed as a sunbather relaxing on a Miami beach chair) naturally piques Dexter’s curiosity and Miami’s finest realize they’ve got a terrifying new serial killer on the loose. And Dexter, of course, is back in business.

Look for all of Jeff Lindsay’s deliciously twisted Dexter novels:
DARKLY DREAMING DEXTER • DEARLY DEVOTED DEXTER • DEXTER IN THE DARK • DEXTER BY DESIGN • DEXTER IS DELICIOUS • DOUBLE DEXTER • DEXTER’S FINAL CUT • DEXTER IS DEAD

Goodreads review by Thibault on June 20, 2022

This story brings us back to the real world instead of dragging the series down again in the supernatural, which is appreciated. It’s definitely better than the previous book, but that’s not much of a compliment. Overall, this story is okay but it does lack some of the charm and wittiness of the TV......more

Goodreads review by Damo on September 11, 2023

After leaving Dexter By Design to sit on my bookshelf for years - since it was first released actually, I finally found myself motivated enough to read it with the hopes that the grand miss of book #3 was a one-off. Alas, I was underwhelmed and found that my impression that the series was in decline......more

Goodreads review by Thomas on November 28, 2017

Book 4 in the Dexter series is a return to familiar territory. The 180 that was the revelation of ‘The Dark Passenger’ as a very real, albeit supernatural, being is largely ignored in this book. I had less trouble with that storyline than I would have thought, but I was not sad to see it dropped. Un......more

Goodreads review by Chloe on May 16, 2010

It has to be bittersweet to be Jeff Lindsay. On the one hand, he's got it made. He made the big time- a creation of his has flourished and attracted international attention and acclaim through that perennial taste-maker, television. On the other, it really has to suck. His lovable psychopath with a......more

Raves for Jeff Lindsay's Dexter by Design

“The best of Dexter’s four adventures to date, the trademark mixture of amusement and horror complemented by a genuinely suspenseful plot.” —Kirkus (starred review)

“Dexter is a brilliant creation, a monster who walks like a man, a homicidal maniac who only kills people who deserve it, a simulacrum of a human being who has had to learn how to fake his way through the intricacies of human interaction. There is a popular television series about the character, but a TV show can’t capture the nuances of Lindsay’s writing, the subtleties of Dexter’s delightfully deranged mind…Like a lightly comic version of Hannibal Lecter, Dexter is a genuinely memorable, disturbingly compelling antihero.” —Booklist
