"Dexter is Delicious" Review
I liked this book a lot more than the last two
Dexter, despite all the changes he's going through in this book, sounds like Dexter again. And, best of all, Brian's back - and finally gets to reciprocate Dexter's good deed at the end of the first book.
Dexter's clearly wrestling with the emergence of something resembling a proto-conscience and comes close to actually succumbing but ironically, it is the inspiration of his new-born daughter that sets him back on the killing trail just as the book closes. I have the suspicion that the next book will see Dexter well and truly immersed back in his favourite activities again, just with a whole new motivation for it.
The interaction between Brian and Cody and Astor is black humour all the way - and I loved every second of it. Interestingly, it seems like Cody has the best developed Dark Passenger (or in Cody's terse words, "Shadow Guy") of everybody.
Overall, a great read and very much feeling like Dexter's back on the track again!
