DARKLY DREAMING DEXTER: Dexter Morgan can't stand the sight of blood. Which makes his job as a blood spatter analyst for the Miami PD a little tricky. But it means that he's very tidy when it comes to his hobby: murder. After all, even though Dexter only ever kills bad people, he doesn't want to draw attention to it. But now there's another killer out there who's being a whole lot less subtle¿ DEARLY DEVOTED DEXTER: Miami's best-dressed serial killer is getting twitchy - he hasn't killed for months. Ever since their paths first crossed, Sergeant Doakes hasn't let Dexter Morgan out of his sight. Then a body turns up, mutilated and barely alive. To trap the torturer, Doakes and Dexter will have to work together, if they can trust each other. It's a devil's pact and one of them will have to be the bait... DEXTER IN THE DARK: When Dexter is brought in to analyse a charred headless corpse, it seems he's dealing with a killer even more sinister than he is, and one with a personal interest in him. And with Dexter now having a wedding to plan and a family to protect, the stakes are high. As he realises his step-children might share his blood-lust, if he's ever to help them target it, Dexter will first have to stay alive himself.… (more)

If you've indulged in the Showtime series before reading the novels, the first novel provides a far greater scope of backstory for the protagonist Dexter. Be wary that beginning from novel two, the books follow a different storyline arc than the TV series. This omnibus is the perfect stop for anyone who just can't get another Dexter in their day-to-day life. ( )

Book 1 Darkly Dreaming Dexter - a great introduction into the sociopathic mind of the Dark Passenger and his facade - Dexter. Great detail and humour amongst the violence and darkness. ( )
