Our favorite psychopath is back. This time Dexter is helping his sister and "our nation's government" track a serial killer who has vengeance in mind. I found myself skimming in places. Not as engaging as the first book.

read this one straight after I finished the first book, and it hasn't yet gotten old or boring. The storyline followed pretty much a same pattern as the first one, same wit and dark humour but with slightly different twists along the way.

If you enjoyed Darkly Dreaming Dexter you won't be disappointed by Dearly Devoted...

Felt much more readable than the first book. Still uses lots of alliteration. Dexter comes across as funny instead of just annoying.
