I think to me this book was more “intense” than the first just because crazy limb-chopping Dr. Danco had Deb’s boyfriend and for a while the reader doesn’t really know exactly what will happen to him. (And also you don’t know who will be next and how this guy will be stopped) And once again Dexter himself is a brilliant and likable character and his patience is tested because a certain suspicious sergeant keeps watch over him much too often and Dexter can’t “do his job”. Unpredictable and very entertaining… I can’t wait ‘til I get Dexter in the Dark now from the library, but I think I’ll have to because so many people requested to borrow that book. =(
