DDD is an interesting novel. Our main character is not a police officer wrangling against prejudiced superiors and nasty street thugs to find the criminal--he's a criminal himself. As a criminal, his Camus-like approach to life and relationships make this character hard to like and believe. Lindsay clearly has a knack for comedy and sarcasm, and Dexter is a perfect voice to add color to an otherwise shallow plot.The other characters are very flat and trite. The plot doesn't really work, and there's a touch of made-for-TV twists in the story that make the reader a bit embarrassed that Lindsay didn't think this one through more thoroughly. I won't be likely to read the next installment in the series.
