Lights. Camera. Murder. The Dexter series continues with a wild ride through Hollywood. • The Killer Character That Inspired the Hit Showtime Series Dexter Mega-star Robert Chase is famous for losing himself in his characters. When he and a group of actors descend on the Miami Police Department for "research," Chase becomes fixated on Dexter Morgan, the blood spatter analyst with a sweet tooth and seemingly average life. Chase shadows Dexter's every move, trying to learn what makes him tick. However, Dexter's favorite pastime of hunting down the worst killers who've escaped legal prosecution—and introducing them to his special brand of justice—presents, well, a bit of a problem. It's a secret best kept out of the spotlight if Dexter wants to stay out of the electric chair, but even Dexter isn't immune to the call of fame....

This series is getting a bit long in the tooth. Will the next book be the last?
Just checked out the other reviews to find out that people seemingly hate this one? The one I just willingly gave 5 stars to (I believe a first for this series).

I find it really funny/odd that people are SEVEN books into a series and they are upset that a psychopathic fifty-seven-time serial killer is also willing to cheat on his wife? A wife that he has, for the last seven books, (starting as a girlfriend) stated was just a wonderful cover that helped him avoid suspicion. Not to mention that he has stated over and over that he can not feel human emotion...
This is not to knock everyone else's opinions, but as readers our liking of Dexter is our projection of him. He is a serial killer, he is a bad person, a psychopath. His humor and wit help us enjoy and continue reading, but that is not to say it makes him GOOD. I feel that his love of being admired while with Jackie Forrest and getting wrapped up in the glamour and relative fame fits perfectly into the mindset of a killer who keeps drops of blood as trophies.
Just my thoughts
This one is darker and more real. It's really good but also i disliked Dexter's personality change, his sudden caring for money, sex and fame made it difficult for me to care about the narrator. The last ten chapters were gripping though, this is the beginning of the end of Dexter.
