The Dreaded Slump

I think I am in a reading slump. Several books that I have been expectantly waiting for have failed to deliver. Carl Hiaasen's Star Island seemed formulaic, as did Suzanne Arruda's The Crocodile's Last Embrace. Even the lyrical James Lee Burke's The Glass Rainbow felt like more of the same, and even worse, I hated the inconclusive ending. I think I have finally found the book to break the slump. Dexter is Delicious by Jeffry Lindsay is as delightfully dark and droll as I had hoped for. This time Dexter has to contend with vampires, cannibals, and a newborn baby. Don't miss it.
