About this listen

America’s most-read, most-watched, and most­ beloved serial killer - Dexter Morgan - is back. After selling more than one million copies and inspiring the wildly popular number one Showtime series and top-rated crime drama on pay-cable television, New York Times best-selling author Jeff Lindsay returns with his most hilarious, macabre, and purely entertaining novel yet.

Dexter Morgan has always lived a happy homicidal life. He keeps his dark urges in check by adhering to one stead­fast rule...he only kills very bad people. But now Dexter is experiencing some major life changes - don’t we all? - and they’re mostly wrapped up in the eight-pound curiosity that is his newborn daughter. Family bliss is cut short, however, when Dexter is summoned to investigate the disappearance of a 17-year-old girl who has been running with a bizarre group of goths who fancy themselves to be vampires. As Dexter gets closer to the truth of what happened to the missing girl, he realizes they are not really vampires so much as cannibals. And, most disturbing...these people have decided they would really like to eat Dexter.

Jeff Lindsay’s best-selling, dark, ironic, and oftentimes laugh-out-loud hilarious novels about the lovable serial killer with no soul (but a redeeming desire to kill only people who deserve it) have gained a legion of fans and assumed a place in our cul­ture.

Please, I need Nick Landrum as Dexter, Lindsays voice makes me fall asleep. Therefore only three stars from me.

Wright author, wrong narrator....

Nick Landrum did an amazing job as a storyteller! I loved the way he read ever character, making them come alive just by the way he expressed the words! Now with Lindsey...I feel like he is rushing the whole story. When he describes something or he is playing out a character sometimes he can somewhat capture the scene. While other times I feel like he is just bored and scrambling to get all the words out. I would have enjoyed this much more if the had recast Landrum as the narrator. Overall the book was well written and Lindsey as a writer always entertains me with his alliterations, puns and witty sayings!

Much Better With Landrum.

*POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT*

I may have had too much expectation with this one. If you've been reading my reviews of all the books in this series, you will know that i was particularly looking forward to this book, as Season 5 of the television show is the Season I began discovering Dexter. So far, i could see how each season was LOOSELY related to each book.

I guess i expected to meet the Trinity killer in this book. Instead I am presented with a Dexter who suddenly sees life through new eyes after the birth of his baby girl, Lilianne. So the book becomes mostly Dexter's internal struggle to want to give up his "hobby" and be the best Dad he can be, as well as an upstanding citizen.

This isn't exactly the type of sentiment I've come to expect from Dear Old Dutiful Dexter!

As far as peformance goes, Nick Landrum is apparently no longer narrating these books, the author himself is reading them. He doesn't do a *bad* job, per se, but he's not as good as Landrum. He needs to be a bit more sinister and a bit more animated. And, it has to be said, his "characters" are awful.

That's alright, I am confident Double Dexter (Book 6) will redeem itself!

Expectations were too high

Normally I don't like it when authors attempt to narrate their own audiobooks, because authors generally do not have acting skills. But, in the case of "Dexter Is Delicious," Jeff Lindsay has done a surprisingly good job, giving the characters different voices and accents, and conveying their emotions well. He maybe doesn't have the most beautiful voice in the world, but that small quibble doesn't justify docking a star from my rating. As always with the Dexter books, "Dexter Is Delicious" entertains. I mean -- let's face it -- all the Dexter stories require suspension of disbelief and a sense of humor for complete enjoyment. With "Dexter Is Delicious," I fear Lindsay may have painted himself into a corner, because, thanks to the birth of his daughter, Dexter seems to be morphing into a ... human? Thankfully, at the end of the audiobook, we learn that our old friend, the monster Dexter -- the dark passenger -- is still fully functioning within Dexter 2.0. I am already looking forward to the next book in the series: Will the two versions of Dexter co-habitate amicably? Or will an inevitable power struggle ensue? Stay tuned.

Another great Dexter book! The character in the book is so much more compelling than the TV character...and Jeff Lindsay does a great job as narrator as well as author. An entertaining, chilling listen.

If you like the hbo show dexter you will like the book. Dexter is as lovable as a serial killer could be in this book. The narrator is easy to listen to.

good read

I cannot get enough of the Dexter books, but I liked the narrator on the other books better (even tho this is narrated by the author). Maybe I just got used to the style of the other narrator and this was a change-up.

Love the story
