Discover Dexter Is Dead (Dexter, #8) Depicted By Jeff Lindsay Distributed As Hardbound

this is it. The longawaited finale. But much like the TV show based off the series, the ending was a bit unsatisfactory, Not as awful as the TV series, mind you, but still not too great, I wasn't expecting much though, as these books got progressively worse with each installment, But I made it and it feels good to complete a series, particularly one this long,.s
Dexter is Dead is the eighth and final book in the popular Dexter series by American author, Jeff Lindsay, Dexter Morgan, blood spatter expert with the Miami Dade Police Force and everyones favourite serial killer, is being held in Turner Guildford Knight Correctional Centre.
He knows hes innocent this time of the murders see Dexters Final Cut, but how to convince anyone when he has been held for two weeks with no sign of a lawyer, an arraignment or even his sister, the everscowling Sergeant Deborah.
Its all the work of his nemesis, Detective Anderson, Dexter is certain,

With Rita dead, Deb wants custody of Astor, Cody and Lily Anne, and nothing further to do with the brother shes now disowning.
Eventually released, courtesy of a highpower lawyer arranged by brother Brian and funded how, exactly, Dexter finds himself struggling to maintain his liberty surprisingly, his colleague, Vince Masuoka is of assistance and his life thanks to Brians activities, Dexter is on a drug lords hitlist.
Yep, lifes being a real bitch for Dexter, And then, to complicate things further, estranged Deb rings wanting Dexters help after all: the kids have been kidnapped,

After a very slow start Dexter is sure that two weeks in detention has slowed his brain, and maybe Lindsays too in which Dexter expends brain power on the quality of mattresses, the action hots up: two dead bodies in Dexters hotel room, a car bomb, Dexter is cuffed and slapped, perforated by glass slivers, sets a clever trap or two to lure out drogas, and then a grand finale involving a Mexican drug lord, a very expensive yacht and a big boom.
Theres still some black humour and dry wit to entertain, and its no spoiler to reveal that, true to the title, at the end Dexter is definitely dead.
The series was flagging a bit, so its fitting to bid Dexter Rest In Peace,
Oh this was such a good ending!! I am a fan of the TV show and didnt know if I would be able to jump into this last book in the series by Jeff Lindsay.
I was so disappointed in the TV series ending that I wanted to read how the author really wanted Dexters story to end.


I was not disappointed, This was the same Dexter that I had grown to love well loosely speaking when youre talking about a murdering sociopath, However the more I read the more I enjoyed the book, Dexter is portrayed in the book as a true sociopath, he has no feelings one way of the other, In the show the last season showed Dexter having too much love and caring, for his girlfriend, Deb, his child, and that is not the true nature of a sociopath from what Ive read from psychiatric sources.


We find Dexter jailed for a crime he didnt commit and a police detective who is forging documents, evidence, etc, anything he can do to put Dexter away.
But, cheers here, Dexters long lost brother not only posted bail for him but got him the most accomplished criminal lawyer in Miami.
The plot thickens, of course, and we find that brother Brian has another motive for getting Dexter released,

There are gangs, drugs, and corrupt police and government officials involved in it all, Detective Anderson has planted evidence, forged multiple documents, done everything he can to finish off Dexter, It seems that the entire police force is rooting to put Dexter away,

But wait, Dexter has a friend, Vince from the lab cant abide by incorrect documents and people forging his signature, There is a point when we think, well perhaps Dexter will get away once again,

I wont plant spoilers but the novel is action packed with lots of ruminations by Dexter on himself and what he has done to so many people.
He has no remorse and still has the will to live, still believes that he can outsmart anyone, out plan anyone and he usually does.


I would recommend this book for fans of the book series but also TV fans who want to get to know the Dexter that the author intended and the much more satisfying ending.

I am such an absolute fan of the Dexter novels so it was with great delight that I was

given the newest edition last month from the publishers.
Thank you.

This final installment ends in a way that's fitting for the best serial killer ever Dark Dexter, our dashing, devious hero.
As a fan of the books and a viewer of The Showtime series, my heart lies with the novels, Showtime rarely got right, and in the end gave us one of the most disappointing final seasons in recent television history, Lindsay in marvelous effort gives fans want they've hoped for: a great ending for an even greater character,

I don't want to give anything away, but I do want to emphasize that this last novel is as perfect a Dexter as any of the previous Dexters.
There are no shortcuts. Perhaps it's even better. Better because of Brian and Deborah, Better because even though Dexter claims to be inhuman, we see his humanity even more than previous books, For all of Dexter's protestations, he is our favorite dark hero, and he is human,

Bon voyage, dearest Dexter, After seven national bestsellers and eight seasons as one of the most successful shows on television, New York Times bestselling author Jeff Lindsay bids a thrilling farewell to his uniquely twisted and beloved serial killer, Dexter Morgan.
