Jonathan Trott reviewed Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay
Solid opening book
5 stars
Different than how I remembered, but a recent rewatch of season 1 is probably to blame. Solid writing and excellent plot and characters.

Darker than other books

Excellent telling of more back story

It’s an interesting decision the TV show made to not include Sara as a character as she is such a critical part of the Will Trent universe. Good to finally get closure on her tragic back story and a lovely twist in the end of the who dunnit.
