“Like a breath of fresh air blowing across all crime-novel conventions, there is Dexter.” —Time

Dexter Morgan is not your average serial killer. He enjoys his day job as a blood spatter analyst for the Miami Police Department . . . but he lives for his nighttime hobby of hunting other killers. Dexter is therefore not pleased to discover that someone is shadowing him, observing him, and copying his methods. Dexter is not one to tolerate displeasure . . . in fact, he has a knack for extricating himself from trouble in his own pleasurable way.

Like the previous five best-selling novels in the Dexter series, Double Dexter showcases the witty, macabre originality that has propelled Jeff Lindsay to international success. Double Dexter is raucously entertaining . . . full of smart suspense and dark laughs.

I do love Dexter, but he's so dull in most of this book - where did his brains go?

Book Info: Genre: Thriller/Police Procedural
Reading Level: Adult
Recommended for: twisted people
Trigger Warnings: murder

My Thoughts: Okay, this is my first read of this book, so it's all fresh and new and unknown! How exciting! To make things more fun, I did a sort of informal buddy read with Chuck from Bookworm Buddies over on Goodreads.

I was immediately struck by how strangely everyone is acting in this book. Rita is behaving very oddly, and Camilla Figg--always in the background, never any details--is also acting in a most peculiar manner, mangling her sentences even more than Rita most of the time. I've always wondered what Camilla's problem was. Does she have a crush on Dexter? Is she just painfully shy? And when Dexter finds out about the Shadowblog, why doesn't he just try to track down the owner of the blog? And when he finds the wife's name, why didn't he look up their marriage license to learn the guy's name? It seems pretty straightforward to me. I also have to say I do not at all understand why Dexter doesn't ask his brother for help sooner. After all, Brian has been wanting to have a playdate with Dexter for a very long time now, right?

Anyway, I love this series, but this book frustrated the heck out of me. Dexter was just not up to his normal standards and it drove me crazy. There were so many times that I figured out things before he did, and since I'm really not all that good at figuring things out, this just felt wrong to me.

On the other hand, the description of their first day in Key West was hilarious. So, all-in-all, I did end up enjoying the book. The ending was just beautiful and restored my faith in dear, darling Dexter. After all, who could really stay mad at him no matter how slow he may have been at figuring things out this time? Not me, that's for sure. But yeah, I had to take off a star for his unforgivable dullness through much of this book. This was not the Dexter I know and love, and I can only hope that the next book will fix these problems. For twisted souls only!

Disclosure: I purchased a new, first-edition hardcover of this book for myself. Then when it was time to find it, I couldn't, and bought myself a Kindle copy. At any rate, I've paid for this book twice and therefore owe no one anything. All opinions are my own.

Synopsis: A witness. Such a simple concept--and yet for Dexter Morgan, the perfectly well-disguised monster, the possibility of a witness is unthinkable. But when Dexter is on a very private, very satisfying excursion one evening with a wretchedly deserving playmate, the unthinkable happens: someone sees him.

Dexter is not at all pleased. As an upstanding blood-spatter analyst for the Miami Police Department, he has always managed to keep the darker side of his life out of the spotlight... the fun part, where he finds truly bad people--murderers who have escaped the reach of the justice system--and quietly gives them his very special attentions. But now that he's been seen and identified by his witness, Dexter must launch himself into a different kind of hunt.

Making matters worse, a brutal cop killer is targeting Miami's police detectives, leaving behind bodies that are battered beyond recognition...and completely bloodless. As the department grows more fearful of the psychotic killer in their midst, Dexter must handle his own crisis and come to terms with the fact that his witness is not only circling him but determined to expose him. Dexter is being followed, manipulated, and mimicked... leading him to realize that no one likes to have a double, especially when his double's goal is to kill him.

Double Dexter picks up where Delicious left off, the last three books have been loads of fun, though we never quite get back to the heights of Darkly Dreaming or Dearly Devoted the books are still good reads, and at this point, sadly, better than the TV show which has declined rapidly since season four. I did miss Deb dragging Dexter around to various crime scenes, in fact there wasn't enough Debra Morgan this book. I love the Brother/Sister "super-sleuth" team but we got a taste of it early at least. Then again, she sorta owned the last book so I suppose she can give up the spotlight a little. I did not totally buy the villain, in fact he was kinda lame, but it worked out because he didn't get much face time. Most important, Double Dexter really belonged to Rita (god I miss her in the show, she's hilarious in the books), and Astor. It was Astor's time to shine and she made the most of it. Astor has great moments in this book - from using her baby sister as a shield against Dex, to "I look like a Cyborg!", to "Sweet, I mean, totally flippin' sweet!" Her shining moment on the boat with the can of soda and "Hey #!$!ole!, Dexter, is it ok if I say #&*!@ now?", was among my favorite passages in the entire book series. My big issue with the book is that Dexter is starting to get unlikeable, he did one very bad thing with Brian out of stupidity that very much troubled me, but he almost did something unforgivable - that code is as important to this reader as it is for Dexter at this point. In a way, because of what he did, I as a reader am close to wanting to see him get caught and that's not a good because it takes the tension out of the book. The whole idea of the story is that we are cheering for someone we should not be cheering for. If anything, as the series draws to it's conclusion, Dexter should start becoming a better and better person, so the tension is increased and the fear of him getting caught is not only terrifying to him, but to the reader as well. If he becomes such a bastard that we are no longer cheering for him, then the tension just drains out like a deflated balloon and we won't care anymore, and there is no reason to keep reading. Let's not go there. I've always had this fun idea that Doakes is going to go insane from not being able to catch Dexter, and at some point he is going to flip and just flat out murder Dex. Dexter will die a hero, the ultimate frustration for poor Doakes, and then Cody and Astor, (who are in their mid to late 20's by now) take vengeance, it will be sweet.. That moment when Doakes is on the table and he realizes the "legacy" that Dexter has left that is going to go on, and on... that would be awesome. Anyway, whatever happens, however Dexter goes out, the reader should be going "oh no!" not "oh finally, I am so done with that guy..."

Dexter is very meticulous at what he does best. He is very patient, plans everything to the letter, and secures a location that allows him some privacy.
Then a random variable crashes into said plan and Dexter has inadvertently created a monster.
Dexter has just taken out a bad man in a kill room he set up in a vacant house. Right after the kill, he notices someone was watching, and then jumped in their vehicle and took off.
But the real scary thing is, this guy didn't call the cops for witnessing a murder. Nope. He starts to follow Dexter and wishes to become him. But in order to do that, he needs to get rid of the original. Has Dexter met his match? Is there someone out there that can actually do what he does?

Again, great series!! Highly recommend!!

Das sechste Dexter Buch passt irgendwie in die heutige Zeit. Es ist Unterhaltung der leicht-seichten Sorte, bei der es eindeutig auf den Konsumenten ankommt, wie viel Spaß er damit hat. Will heißen: Ist man in der Lage, die Logik außen vor zu lassen, und wird man magisch angezogen von künstlich erzeugter Pseudo-Spannung, so hat man an Double Dexter sicherlich seine Freude.

Gerade wenn man die TV-Serie kennt, so hat man beim Lesen immer wieder die bekannten Figuren vor dem geistigen Auge. Deborah, Cody und Astor spielen nach wie vor eine Rolle. Ebenso wie Kurzauftritte von Angel Batista und Vincent Masuka. Abweichend von der Serie gibt es nach wie vor noch Seargant Doakes, Rita und Dexters Bruder Brian. Statt dem Sohn Harrison hat Dexter im Buch die Tochter Lily Ann.

Beim Lesen kommt immer wieder das typische Dexter-Flair auf, was neben den Figuren vor allem am Setting und an Dexters Wortwitz liegt.

Trotzdem habe ich mich bereits während des Lesens und dann noch mal am Ende dafür entschieden, dass Double Dexter kein gutes Buch ist.

Das hat viele, viele Gründe und dieses Mal macht es wenig Sinn, eine Liste an Ungereimtheiten aufzuzählen ( so habe ich das bei meinen letzten Dexter-Rezensionen gemacht ).

Ich wurde nie das Gefühl los, dass der Autor auf Teufel komm raus versucht Spannung zu erzeugen, was einfach zu Lasten der Logik, des gesunden Menschenverstandes und am Ende einer glaubwürdigen Darstellung des Dexter-Charakters geht.

Generell geht es eigentlich schon mit dem Untertitel los:

"He's back and deadlier than ever"

Tatsache aber ist, dass Dexter in diesem Buch genau eine einzige Person umbringt und auch noch so doof ist, sich dabei erwischen zu lassen. Der Beobachter entkommt und wird dann vom Gejagten ( Dexter hat offensichtlich keinerlei Skrupel trotz ständiger Erwähnung des Harry-Codex einen unschuldigen Menschen umzubringen ) zum Jäger.

Auch der Titel "Double Dexter" will nicht so ganz zünden. Der Autor versucht zwar immer wieder das Double-Thema einfließen zu lassen, generell hat das Buch aber weder was mit einem Doppelgänger zu tun ( dafür kennt der "Doppelgänger" Dexter zu wenig ), noch wird die Zerissenheit zwischen dem "dunklen" Dexter und Dexter als Familienvater weiter ausgeführt.

Mit von der Partie sind wieder zahlreiche Doofheiten, die den Dexter-Charakter an vielen Stellen plump, unfähig und unsympathisch erscheinen lassen. Am deutlichsten wird das immer dann, wenn die Handlung recht einfach einer gewissen Logik folgen könnte, Dexter sich aber völlig anders entscheidet ( was dann in der Regel zum Misserfolg führt ) oder er erst gar nicht auf logische Schlussfolgerungen kommt ( "Rita trinkt in letzter Zeit heimlich so viel Alkohol ? Ob sie wohl ein Problem hat ? Ach nein, wird schon nix sein. Außerdem habe ich jetzt erstmal Hunger !" )

Der Autor hat aber auch eine Art, diese unlogischen oder aber auch nervigen Handlungsverläufe noch besonders hervorzuheben. Wenn sich Dexter dann ganz ausdrücklich darüber wundert, wieso denn der Computer auf einmal so lange braucht, bis er hochgefahren ist, dann weiß man als Leser sofort neunmalklug "Oh, oh ... da wird doch niemand einen Trojaner eingeschleust haben, der Dexter ausspioniert ?!?" Und ca. 50 Seiten später kommt dann die totale Überraschung, wenn man erfährt, dass da jemand einen Trojaner installiert hat, der Dexter ausspioniert hat.

Und wenn über Seiten hinweg ausgeführt wird, was Dexter nun als nächstes tun wird, wie er das Problem lösen wird, wie er vorgehen wird, wie er es allen zeigen wird ... dann ... ja dann kann man sich sicher sein, dass es aus irgendeinem profanen Grund eben genau nicht so ablaufen wird. Und wenn's nur daran liegt, dass er sich beim Abendessen dummerweise so vollgestopft hat, dass er kein Bein mehr auf den Boden kriegt ( und das ist jetzt nicht erfunden, sondern kommt so vor ).

Ich denke, man muss so eine Art des Geschichten Erzählens mögen. Mich nervt das. Es ist - wie eingang erwähnt - seichte Unterhaltung inkl. Pseudospannung, wie man sie jeden Tag im Privatfernsehen in einer dieser Reality-TV-Serien mitbekommt. Das Buch ist voll mit solchen Szenen.

Darüber hinaus kommen aber auch ganze Teile im Buch vor, die einfach nur langweilig sind und den Handlungsfluß künstlich unterbrechen. So z.B., wenn Dexter ein Problem hat, es aber nicht lösen kann, weil er doch versprochen hat, mit zum Camping zu fahren. Und dann der Camping-Trip auf 20 Seiten breitgetreten wird.

Außerdem wirkt das Buch wie aus einzelnen Versatzstücken zusammengewürfelt und irgendwie in Form gepresst. Während man zu Beginn noch denkt, dass parallel zur eigentlichen Handlung ein weiterer Psychopath ala Ice-Truck-Killer und Co. gejagt wird, hört dieser Handlungsstrang ( der mehr Spannungspotenzial als der Rest der Story hatte ) relativ bald wieder auf und verschmilzt dann recht plump mit dem Rest. Natürlich hat es sich der Autor wieder nicht nehmen lassen, beim Vorgehen dieses kurz auftretenden Killers gegenüber den anderen Büchern nochmal eine Schippe draufzulegen. Dieses mal werden also keine Leichen verstümmelt, gegessen oder sonst was. Nein - dieses mal werden Menschen mit einem Hammer so lange zu Klump gehauen - ohne die Haut dabei zu verletzten - bis sie wie ein Haufen Gelee aussehen ( Gähn !!! ).

Dexters Familienleben beschränkt sich darauf, dass Rita nervt oder eifersüchtig ist, Cody und Astor ständig am Videospielen sind und Astor selbst pubertätsgemäß ein verzogenes Gör ist. Jedenfalls solange, bis der im Stil von "Alarm für Cobra 11 auf dem Wasser" inszenierte Showdown kommt.

Ich merke, dass ich noch etliche Zeilen mehr über das Schreiben könnte, was ich an diesem Buch schlecht fand. Es sind einfach viel zu viele Dinge. Im Prinzip hangelt man sich von einem doofen Einfall zum nächsten und zwischendurch gibt es ein paar raffinierte oder witzige Textstellen, an denen man sich festhält. Unterm Strich muss ich mittlerweile aber für mich feststellen, dass Jeff Lindsay es einfach nicht drauf hat und ich am einst gut eingeführten Dexter-Charakter mehr festhalte, als dies eigentlich berechtigt wäre. Dexter ist mittlerweile zu großen Teilen ein unfähiger Typ, der durch sein eigenes Verhalten von einem Fettnäpfchen ins andere tritt. Sehe ich bei der TV-Serie übrigens ganz ähnlich.

Nach so vielen Zeilen ( die noch lange nicht jede Unzulänglichkeit dieses Buches beschrieben haben ) stelle ich fest, dass Jeff Lindsay auf Seite 200 sein neues Buch eigentlich selbst kurz und treffend beschrieben hat:

"Every now and then we find ourselves living through moments that make no sense at all. It's almost as if some omnipotent film editor has snipped us out of our familiar everyday movie and spliced us into something completely random (...), and nothing that happens has any relationship to what you think of as reality."

Na, dann: Ich "freue" mich schon auf nächstes Jahr ...

Von mir gibt es dieses mal 2 Sterne. Fans der vorherigen Bücher und immer noch begeisterte Kucker der aktuellen Staffeln werden mit diesem Buch jedoch mehr als zufrieden sein.

Nachtrag: Im Folgenden noch zwei Informationen, die man eventuell seit dem Lesen der letzten Bücher vergessen hat.

1. Deborah weiß Bescheid, wer ihr Bruder wirklich ist und was er macht.
2. Astor und Cody haben ebenfalls einen "Dark Passenger" und sind im Prinzip Mini-Dexters

Das sind eigentlich zwei Punkte, die wirklich Potential in Sachen Storytelling hätten. Leider werden sie nahezu komplett außen vor gelassen und es wird nicht weiter groß darauf eingegangen. Man wundert sich halt womöglich, wenn es irgendwann in der Mitte des Buches so nebenbei mal erwähnt wird.

How to make a serial killer acceptable

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 2, 2013

Jedd Lindsay has managed to create a characture who whilst being an understandable monster, has charm, a kind of innocent naivety, an honesty, standards that have a weird sort of justice attached to them.He lives like an alien in a strange land, trying to escaped detection, but drawing those of a kindredness to him like a magnet. Because you are sharing his thoughts and reasoning, you almost know him better thatn he knows himself. So you enter a world in which our standard morality is kind of warped, whilst Dexter's growing family and designer lifestyle is becoming the norm. The horror is understated or glossed over, because you view from Dexter's point of view. The story line is well written with style and humour and you are carried along its path, knowing that someday it is all going to catch up with him and his convoluted escapism will go pear shaped and his career will come to a sticky and painful end. However, I hope that day will be a long time comng and that Jeff Lindsay will manage to keep Dexter going for as long as it takes to rid the world of the really Nasties. Dexter is up there with Hannibal and Mr. Ripley in my book..
