Synopsis

After seven national bestsellers and eight seasons as one of the most successful shows on television, New York Times bestselling author Jeff Lindsay bids a thrilling farewell to his uniquely twisted and beloved serial killer, Dexter Morgan. Dexter Is Dead is the definitive conclusion of the character who has become a global icon.

     Dexter Morgan has burned the candle at both ends for many years. Blood spatter analyst . . . husband . . . father . . . serial killer. And now, for the first time, his world has truly collapsed. Dexter is arrested on charges of murder. He has lost everything—including his wife, his kids, and the loyalty of his sister. Now completely alone, Dexter faces a murder charge (for a crime . . . ironically . . . he did not actually commit). His only chance for freedom lies with his brother, Brian, who has a dark plan to prove Dexter's innocence. But the stakes are deadly, and the epic showdown that lies in Dexter's path may lead, once and for all, to his demise. 
     Jeff Lindsay's trademark devilish wit and cutting satire have never been sharper. Dexter Is Dead marks the end of a beloved series, but is also Dexter's most satisfying and suspenseful outing yet.

Goodreads review by Asghar on January 09, 2018

Before we delve into this, I just want to say I almost didn't review this book. Because I am used to being disappointed with Mr. Lindsay by now. That disappointment has been one constant of our reader/writer relationship, abusive one at that. Mostly due to the fact, he was never as good as the very......more

Goodreads review by Heather on July 16, 2015

I really wanted to like this book. I mean, I have been waiting for it for a year. Once a year, I get my Dexter fix and knowing this was the last chapter of his story, I was all but staring at my Kindle waiting for it to appear. Then I began reading. The beginning was so slow, if it had been any other......more

Goodreads review by Paul on July 15, 2015

This really seamed like a case of... "I have to tie up the loose ends of the previous book but I do not feel like putting a lot into it" The plot was simple and predictable. No real in depth stories or characters. Just felt smashed together and rushed. As a huge Dexter fan I like how it ended but the......more

Goodreads review by Bradley on August 10, 2015

Dexter is cursed. There just doesn't seem to be a way to close out his stories in a way that truly satisfies. First it was the tv series, and now it's the books. Now, of course, if i were just going to be comparing apples to apples, by comparing the end of the tv series to the end of the books, I ca......more

Goodreads review by Devann on February 01, 2019

I think this is probably one of those books where you either love it or you hate it. I had been pretty disappointed with the three of the last four books in this series so I did not go into this with high hopes, but I ended up absolutely loving it. I think that in order to really like this book you h......more

Quotes

“Fans will rush through . . . double-quick in order to savor every moment of Dexter's final hour.”
    —Kirkus Reviews

"Jeff Lindsay has brought his 'A' game to this farewell, wrapping things up in fine fashion."
     –Bookreporter
 

Praise for the Dexter series

“It’s like very little else you’ve read. Imagine if Hannibal Lecter starred in CSI: Miami instead of David Caruso, and you’re halfway there.”
     —Time 
 
“Dexter’s sardonic voice [is] so snappy and smart, and yet so full of self-loathing that we hate ourselves for laughing.” 
     —The New York Times Book Review

“One of the most likable vigilante serial killers in recent thriller literature.”
    —The New Yorker

“Like a breath of fresh air blowing across all of crime-novel conventions, there is Dexter.”
    —The Denver Post

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

“An entertaining, funny series that draws us in and makes us root, almost against our will, for a ruthless, yet appealing killer. In his own way, Dexter is trying to make the world a better place.”
    —Sun-Sentinel (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.)

“May be the first serial killer who unabashedly solicits our love.”
    —Entertainment Weekly

“Totally captivating. . . . Totally original. The characters are beautifully drawn, particularly Dexter, who is tremendously likable, his hobby notwithstanding.”
    —St. Petersburg Times
