It&#8217;s not easy being the world&#8217;s only serial killer with a conscience, especially when you work for the Miami police. To avoid suspicion, Dexter&#8217;s had to slip deep into his disguise: spending time with his girlfriend and her kids, slowly becoming the world&#8217;s first serial killing couch potato. <br><br>Then a particularly nasty psychopath starts cutting a trail through Miami &#8212; a killer whose twisted techniques leave even Dexter speechless. When his sister Deborah, a tough-as-nails cop, is drawn into the case, it becomes clear that Dexter will have to do come out of hiding and hunt the monster down. Unless, of course, the killer finds him first. . . 3888720 2005 Dearly Devoted Dexter (Dexter, #2) total:3273|5:808|4:1369|3:887|2:180|1:30| 3273 12562 4732 438 4 3 false true Tue Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 02 11:48:36 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 02 14:30:39 -0700 2008 may be the most gruesome, horrifying torture I can think of.

I keep comparing the book to the serie and of course, it disappoints me. (The book, I mean)

There are some things that I deem weird, like the fact that Doakes are quite willing to be the bait and when he gets captured, the police seems to neglect him.
