From the other reviews I've read, this book seems to have gotten better than the previous, Dexter by Design, which was decent but seemed to be missing a certain punch and structure.
For me, I'm not sure this book got it back like most other people thought it did. Although, I will admit to the story structure being more formed.

Once again, the clues were too easy and I knew pretty much everything there was clues about before Dexter and found it annoying that he couldn't piece it together. Also, a lot of people seemed to say he "grew as a character" in this book, due to hid new father-hood. I'm sorry, but fussing over your amazing new baby does not make your character grow, it makes them annoying as hell and normal, like every body else. I do not want my Dexter to be normal. Overall, nothing too impressive here, (though I did really enjoy the girl who's dream was to be eaten by people-that was nicely done and strangely real and believable).

Technically, I think this book would've gotten 2.5 stars. I read it slow, and it was slow in general for me. I just don't care much for babies, OK?
