DEXTER"S FINAL CUT by Jeff Lindsay *****

As always edge of the seat reading. So hard to put down I can't let go of the book to fall asleep. Dexter meets a Hollywood movie star, falls in a Dexter-type love really infatuated with the hotel food and the high quality booze. He gets a small part with a few lines. While this is going on, there's a pedophile on the set, the Hollywood star is being stalked.

Dexter does death to the person he feels is responsible for scaring his new star. He is on duty protecting her and when he's not Deb fills in. He totally ignores the real family he is committed to and thinks it's too mundane for him. So of course Rita who can't finish a sentence is quieted. Astor gets herself in a pickle with another movie star and this is trouble all around. Dex seems immobile and not up to his usual par allowing his girlfriend to be killed and then gets conked on the head by Astor's new "boyfriend."

Instead of moving into a new house with the family everything he touches turns to shit and he's got to face up to what he's now responsible for. Just the perfect book for Dexter lovers and fast paced, you hardly want to put it down altho some of Dex's inner thinking gets a little repetitive and boring, probably meant to add pages but you can zip through them quickly enough to encounter more good stuff. Great reading. Nice character built up and either you like or hate em, whatever Jeff wants.

I would buy it. Really good reading.
