Publisher's Summary

After seven national best sellers and eight seasons as one of the most successful shows on television, New York Times best-selling author Jeff Lindsay bids a thrilling farewell to his uniquely twisted and beloved serial killer, Dexter Morgan. Dexter Is Dead is the definitive conclusion of the character who has become a global icon.

Dexter Morgan has burned the candle at both ends for many years: blood spatter analyst...husband...father...serial killer. And now, for the first time, his world has truly collapsed. Dexter is arrested on charges of murder. He has lost everything - including his wife, his kids, and the loyalty of his sister. Now completely alone, Dexter faces a murder charge (for a crime, ironically, he did not actually commit). His only chance for freedom lies with his brother, Brian, who has a dark plan to prove Dexter's innocence. But the stakes are deadly, and the epic showdown that lies in Dexter's path may lead, once and for all, to his demise.

Jeff Lindsay's trademark devilish wit and cutting satire have never been sharper. Dexter Is Dead marks the end of a beloved series, but is also Dexter's most satisfying and suspenseful outing yet.

A giant middle finger from Jeff Lindsay

Around the time that Double Dexter came out, Mr. Lindsay gave an interview that voiced his displeasure that readers were romanticizing Dexter Morgan and for the next two novels, Lindsay started to break his character. Things that have always been important to Dexter stop being so, his intelligence is non-existent, basically, Mr. Lindsay does everything he can to force the reader to think of Dexter the way he wants them to. I suggest to everyone that they stop reading after Double Dexter and avoid a berating from the author cause he believes we don't think the way he wants us to.

Waste of 11 hours. Title says all you need to know

I have enjoyed all of the books in this series as well as the first 4 seasons of the TV adaptation. I hated the last 4 seasons and was looking forward to reading this book in the hopes that Jeff Lindsay could do a much better job. However, the unthinkable happened. The final book was even worse.

So very disappointing as I loved the character of Dexter and the method of telling his story. But this time ... no.

Save yourself 11 hours. If you already saw the TV show, settle for that. If you have already read the books, be kind to yourself and accept that the title of the book tells you all you need to know.
