About this listen

After seven national best sellers and eight seasons as one of the most successful shows on television, New York Times best-selling 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.

Great story and better ending than TV show.

The narration was good and did enjoy his take on the different characters.Story wise did seem slow and draggy at the beginning but made up for it in the end.

Enjoyable as always.

Very entertaining even though not much happens. I do find it difficult to believe that Dexter is really dead. No doubt there will be another Dexter novel which would be a good thing.

Excellent book to close the series

What did you love best about Dexter Is Dead?

The Dexter series has been an excellent addition to those who loved the TV series. What I loved most is that the stories told throughout the books are completely different from what we watched on TV, so it's as if you get more Dexter. This book was probably one of the better of the entire series, which I'm surprised to have seen negative reviews from other readers, but then again, not everyone is smart enough to understand literature.

Amazing series! Amazing writer!

I love the series so much, both in print and on screen. Sad it's over but happy it exists and is so great.

Disappointing and unfinished.

Waited years to get this on audible. Very disappointed, it seems like Jeff Lindsay just gave up halfway into the story.

WOW

This was a fascinating novel with a shocking ending. I suppose Jeff Lindsay's alternative title would have been "I am done with Dexter."

One request of the author from a loyal listener : A follow up novel 10 years later with Deborah, Cody & Aster.

FABULOUS

Jeff Lindsay has more wit than any other English writer alive, including those publishing in the comedy genre. I listen to his books solely in private as I frequently burst out in raucous cackling which is unseemly and rude in most public places. He and he alone is Dexter for me as his narration cannot be surpassed.

This current novel is deftly plotted, brilliantly funny and plainly - a great time.
