Dexter by Design (Dexter, #4)

by Jeff Lindsay

Dexter Morgan is back. After his surprisingly glorious honeymoon in Paris, life is almost normal for Dexter Morgan. Married life seems to agree with him: he's devoted to his bride, his stomach is full, and his homicidal hobbies seem nicely under control. But old habits die hard-and Dexter's work as a blood spatter analyst never fails to offer new temptations that appeal to his offbeat sense of justice...and his Dark Passenger still waits to hunt with him in the moonlight. Luckily for Dex, there's someone out there with particularly twisted tastes. Dexter may have never been a big fan of art - but the discovery of a corpse (artfully displayed as a sunbather relaxing on a beach chair) naturally piques his curiosity. Miami's finest soon realize they've got a terrifying new serial killer on the loose. And Dexter, of course, is back in business. From the most original voice in crime fiction, DEXTER BY DESIGN is an enthralling, macabre and gruesomely entertaining thriller.

[Michael @ Knowledge Lost]

Dexter by Design is yet another psychological thriller about the anti-hero Dexter Morgan. Jeff Lindsay writes about a more Avant-garde crime in this one, making this an interesting and refreshing read. Dexter by Design revolves around series protagonist Dexter Morgan in Paris on his honeymoon. While in Paris, he gets caught up in the world of modern art. While visiting an art gallery, Dexter and Rita are introduced to the concept of body parts as art. This book continues to reduce the use of First Person storytelling and more into the outsider’s point of view.
