Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay

(Fiction) Book 1. This is disturbingly addictive to read. I can’t wait to hack into the next two books! Season 1 on Showtime is slightly different from this book. Jacket: “Dexter Morgan appears to be the perfect gentleman. He is handsome and polite, and has been in a relationship for nearly a year and a half. Yet appearances can be deceiving, for Dexter is a serial killer who has slain many people. But in this tale, he’s the good guy, for there is one little twist — Dexter only snuffs out other murderers. When another serial killer, with an eerily similar style, starts grabbing headlines, Dexter has a fairly morbid thought. Am I being challenged?”
