Summary
Dexter Morgan isn’t exactly the kind of man you’d bring home to mother. At heart, he’s the perfect gentleman: he has a shy girlfriend and seems to lead a quiet, normal life bordering on mundane.

Critics Review
A virtuoso debut by a new young American author, this is a compulsive trip through territory rendered familiar by the psycho-thrillers of Thomas Harris and Michael Connelly and other masters of the dark arts of abnormal pathology * GUARDIAN *
One of the most likeable vigilante serial killers in recent thriller literature … Like other charismatic killers - Hannibal Lecter, say, or Tom Ripley - Dexter has a set of motives that are tough to untangle. But his quest proves weirdly convincing * NEW YORKER *
A sleek black comedy * LITERARY REVIEW *
It’s been years since there’s been a thriller debut as original as this one … humorous, self-deprecating, smart and sometimes lyrical - a gripping, deliciously offbeat novel * PUBLISHERS WEEKLY *
It’s a great idea. And it’s easy to see why this debut novel has gone down a storm … the whole thing is stylish, polished and very readable * DAILY MIRROR *
Long after readers finish this gripping novel, they will still be thinking (or dreaming) about Dexter * BOOKLIST *
A macabre tour-de-force * NEW YORK TIMES *
