Start of a new series featuring blood spatter expert and likeable serial killer who only kills the bad guys -- Dexter Morgan. He's assisting his foster-sister Deborah on a case where the scenes look very familar and similar to his work.

CAUGHT IN ROCHESTER MINNESOTA USA

Ordered off PBS site.

Oops -- 9/14 entry was me. Didn't realize I wasn't signed in.

A refreshingly original serial killer novel. It's definitely different to have a serial killer as the sympathetic protagonist.

Fast-paced, delicious reading!

Booklist Review
After finishing this debut novel, readers will have only one thing to say: wow! This is a mystery about the efforts of the Miami police to capture a serial killer who cuts up the bodies of his victims. One police officer, Deborah Morgan, is hoping that her participation in the investigation will help her make the leap from Vice to Homicide. Meanwhile, her adopted brother, Dexter, a blood-spatter expert who works for the police department, feeds her information about the case that he hopes will help her.

Oh, and did we say that Dexter narrates the novel? And did we mention that Dexter is also a serial killer? (But not the serial killer his sister is trying to catch.)

Dexter, a likable fellow on the surface, firmly in touch with his own inhumanity, is one of the genre's most original, compelling characters to appear in years. He makes a fascinating narrator, appealing, articulate, and ghoulish all at the same time.
