  <default_description>Dexter Morgan is back. After his surprisingly glorious honeymoon in Paris, life is almost normal for Dexter Morgan. Married life seems to agree with him: he's devoted to his bride, his stomach is full, and his homicidal hobbies seem nicely under control. But old habits die hard - and Dexter's work as a blood spatter analyst never fails to offer new temptations that appeal to his offbeat sense of justice...and his Dark Passenger still waits to hunt with him in the moonlight. Luckily for Dex, there's someone out there with particularly twisted tastes. Dexter may have never been a big fan of art - but the discovery of a corpse (artfully displayed as a sunbather relaxing on a beach chair) naturally piques his curiosity. Miami's finest soon realize they've got a terrifying new serial killer on the loose. And Dexter, of course, is back in business. From the most original voice in crime fiction, &lt;i&gt;Dexter By Design&lt;/i&gt; is an enthralling, macabre and gruesomely entertaining thriller.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I thought this started off with a lot of promise (gruesome performance art in Paris! And then in Miami, woo!), but as happens so often in current fiction, the ending of an otherwise good story is disappointing as hell. All the nifty bits happen in the beginning (and Doakes's cameos are the best part...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/74755806">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The continuing saga of Dexter the misunderstood serial killer.  I was hooked on this series after watching Season 1 on CBS last year.  I immediately went out and got the books.  Dexter by Design is Book 4 in the series and finds Dexter caught with his knife up and running, on camera no less.

    <body><![CDATA[The fourth in the series, and much, much better than the ill-conceived Dexter in the Dark, which I read last year.  Gone are the overt attempts to supernaturally mythologise serial killers, and the Dark Passenger slips closer to the metaphor it once was for the thing inside.  It's a funny read, with...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/47896241">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I was torn between a 3 and a 4 for this latest Dexter adventure.  I don't know if it was because I read the book instead of listening to it but I didn't like this book as much as the first 3.<br/><br/>Maybe because the Dark Passenger was of no consequence at all, it felt like Dexter wasn't on the ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/70764991">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[With the success of the Showtime series based on Lindsay's books, it has been interesting to trace the development of TV Dex and Print Dex.  The worlds have begun to merge for me, particularly with this entry.  The reader gets glimpses into Dexter's past that not only mirror the telvised events, but...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/72759832">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Much better!  Loved the first two books.  Wasn't crazy about the third.  I'm much more charmed by this entry in the Dexter drama.  What's funny is that Dexter only kills one person in the whole book, and that one against the Harry Code.  In fact, the body count is pretty low, or, well, the murder ra...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76517777">more...</a>]]></body>
