Summary

It wasn't supposed to end this way. In a flash of steel, a flurry of gunshots, a chorus of strangled moans blending with the wails of sirens, certainly. A properly dramatic ending, with a good body count, a dash of treachery, absolutely.

But not with Dexter, serial killer and forensic blood spatter analyst, horribly wronged and unjustly accused of the wrong murder, languishing inside the Guilford Knight Correctional Centre, bound and restrained, getting one hour's exercise a day.

Can you correct a prolific serial killer? Would anyone want a monster rehabilitated? Is this really how it will end for Dexter...?

Exciting, gut wrenching, brilliant.

A much better ending than the tv series. For a huge Dexter fan, it doesn't disappoint. I forgot to breathe many times :)

Better than the one before

This one has more action in it, feels more like a Dexter story than the last one. Worth listening to.

Does Dexter Die?

I truly wish Jeff Lindsay hadn't killed Dexter off. I'm sure J. L. had to do as Dexter told him. Although secretly, and as much as I love/hate Debra, her bull doggedness would have saved her step brother.... I love Devilishly Delicious Dexter!

I feel as exhausted as Dexter

I have plowed through all 8 of this series and must admit to really enjoying the selfishness/one mindedness of Dexter - his dedication to himself is fascinating and I have been surprised at myself as I always thought I was a kind, thoughtful, gentle soul - yet I could feel myself encouraging him in his horridness!
I read with interest other reviews and feel I want to disagree with the opinion that the last book is not up to Jeff Lindsay's standard & he just wanted the thing tied up and finished. As he & Brian (finally herocally) ventured forth to save the kids, & as "the boys" breathed their last, all I was left with was sincere sympathy for caustic Debra - lumbered totally with those 4 children! Now she HAS her work cut out.
Good story - also enjoyed the TV show which was same and different. Thank you Mr. Lindsay.

Dexter - dead ?

Sadly a rather disappointing last novel, the story was a little forced. However the end delivered in spades - as an avid fan still worth a read to get to the last chapter.
Lovely to hear the author read it too, a real treat.

Dexter is Back -

What did you like best about Dexter Is Dead? What did you like least?

Love Dexter but not a fan of authors reading their own books -

Just not the same standard of narration we get from professional readers..


How could the performance have been better?

Hire a professional narrator

If this book were a film would you go see it?

Yes
