Dexter Is Delicious by Jeff Lindsay
3.0
An enjoyably gruesome entry into the Dexter series. The titular character is as poetic and charming as ever he can be, fighting his natural urges we've come to expect with the new pull of paternity on his front door.
The story moves quickly and at times grotesquely by, and while I was able to figure out the two bigger twists towards the end, sometimes it's nice to have a journey make sense than try and flip the script on you.
The supporting characters are still a big issue for me. While Dexter feels complex and cold, the rest of his world feels hollow and one dimensional to the point of parody. Deborah Morgan may be the single most unlikeable character in literary history. But alas, much like Dexter, we trudge along despite mortal failings - and maybe that's the point all along.
