A good filler story to the series and I enjoyed the continuation from previous events but the main plot was a flop and not as interesting or cohesive as the previous crime scenes written about.

Not as great as the first 3 Dexter books, but still can't wait to snag the next one.

I've thoroughly enjoyed all of the Dexter novels so far, and this one was no exception. Dexter's dark sense of humor cracks me up, and his narration has me smiling or laughing on every page. I think it's interesting to get into the mind of a psychopath and even more fascinating to discover that I actually like him. My only complaint is that the ending is too rushed and wrapped up too neatly, which is how I felt about the first two books in the series as well.
