Dexter by Design

The author certainly lost his way with the 3rd novel and has tried to revert to a storyline more in line with the first two novels. While I was pleased to see Dexter ‘return to the real world' in a sense, this instalment of the Dexter series again left me slightly underwhelmed. The first two novels while not being master pieces built a solid foundation to create a great series. The third novel aside (lets forget that happened) I feel like there has been no real developments in terms of characters or story arc. I guess my expectations were slightly too high as I have recently watched Dexter season 4 which took Dexter to a whole new level and had an incredible story line. I shall endeavour to read the latest instalment of the series but I fear it may be my last if it continues the current trend of a weak story.
