did the quotation marks get dumped in the sea with the bodies?

license plate part was funny

book overall just wasn’t very thrilling

also, how doakes was handled as a character just felt really… off. could have been a lot better. and

the ending part with him just didn’t sit right.

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