A very cleverly plotted serial killer tale with a difference and introducing Dexter Morgan who will star in many a tale to come. What makes these so different is that Dexter, who is an analyst for the Miami Police, has killed 36 people, not in the course of duty but because he is compelled to kill bad guys.
He is a serial killer and we are drawn into his sad clandestine world, rooting for him not to be discovered. It reminds me of that wonderful book, Jules Hardy’s Mister Candid which you must also seek out. The Dexter novels have now been turned into a major TV series.
Comparison: Thomas Harris, Michael Connelly, Jules Hardy.
Similar this month: None, but try Karin Fossum and Lynda La Plante.
Dexter Morgan isn't exactly the kind of man you'd bring home to your mum. At heart, he's the perfect gentleman: he has a shy girlfriend, and seems to lead a quiet, normal life bordering on the mundane. Despite the fact that he can't stand the sight of blood, he works as a blood-spatter analyst for the Miami police.
