Jeff Lindsay writes crime fiction best known for Dexter Morgan, a Miami blood-spatter analyst who is also a serial killer targeting people he believes deserve to die. Darkly Dreaming Dexter introduces Dexter's carefully controlled double life and his relationship with his detective sister Deborah, while later books expand the tension between family responsibilities, police work and his urge to kill. The novels use Dexter's first-person voice to create dark humour from his attempts to imitate ordinary emotion and social behaviour. They differ in significant ways from the television adaptation, particularly as the series develops. Lindsay's work fits serial-killer fiction, darkly comic crime and antihero thrillers, with the unusual appeal of an investigator who is also one of the criminals. Read more Less
