This book is dedicated to the Dex-heads - all the people, all around the world, who made a place in their hearts for My Little Monster, and by doing so, made me feel special for a few years. It would never have happened without you. Thank you

It is also dedicated to three special spirits - Bear, Pookie, and Think - who are my reason for living (and for getting old).

And above all, to Hilary, who is everything to me.
It wasn't supposed to end this way.

ALL GOOD THINGS MUST END


Dexter Morgan - blood-spatter analyst... husband... father... serial killer - knew that he couldn’t burn the candle at both ends forever, and now his dark deeds have finally ensnared him. He is in prison on multiple homicide charges - although, ironically, he did not commit any of the murders of which he is accused. He’s lost everything: his wife, kids, career, and the loyalty of his sister. His sole, small shot at redemption may come from his brother, Brian, a homicidal maniac who makes Dexter look like the angel in the family. By helping Brian through some serious trouble of his own making, Dexter sees a potential path to proving himself innocent. And, with nothing left to hold him back, he hurtles into an epic showdown... which may be his last.

"Jeff Lindsay has brought his 'A' game to this farewell, wrapping things up in fine fashion."
- Bookreporter

"It's like very little else you've read.  Imagine if Hannibal Lecter starred in CSI: Miami instead of David Caruso, and you're halfway there."
- Time

"Dexter's sardonic voice [is] so snappy and smart, and yet so full of self-loathing that we hate ourselves for laughing."
- The New York Times Book Review

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
