If you have tuned into watch even 1 episode of "Dexter", and have even remotely liked what you have seen, you are in for a treat. Jeff Lindsay has definitely moved up into the top 5 of my list of thriller writers. Also, he will, like the interiors of a Swiss watch, explain to you the workings of the mind of a lovable(!) serial killer. the only downside is that it is an acquired taste-it will take some time for you to like it.
Obviously, it is better than the TV series because this is the original story... there are no silly complications like in the TV series. And it is all there in this 3-in-1 omnibus. The book is hilarious, thought provoking, introspective and all out entertaining. Enjoy !!!
