Can't exactly call this a mystery, since I knew what was going on the whole way. I just had to watch Dexter muddle through. I didn't mind so much, though, because I wasn't sure exactly how things were going to end. I kept thinking, "How's Lindsay going to deal with this?" 
 Truthfully, I didn't like Dexter much in this one. I'm with Deb. Funny that, since if anything he's more "human" here than in previous books. 
 My biggest issue with the end, however, had nothing to do with what was written, but what wasn't touched on at all . . . where were Cody and the baby while all this was going on? Have Rita leave a message or something. Strange loose end to worry about but practical me couldn't help but wonder. 
 Dexter has to show an actor the ropes in the lab and gets caught up with the star of the show when it looks like she's the inspiration for a series of brutal murders.
