1. Jeff Lindsay "Dearly Devoted Dexter"
The fun part of reading a mystery is trying to figure out the killer or killers. I was not able to do so in the second "Dexter" book. Good job, Mr. Lindsay. You wrote a smart novel about a serial killer that doesn't get to serial kill.
Lindsay is a smart writer and knows it. He portrays Dexter as a pop culture whiz, like a Diablo Cody character without a soul. He writes Miami in a way only a native could, like Algren and Chicago. He has complete control over his work and the reader is better off for it.
It's damn near impossible to read this book and not think of the television characters. Thankfully the show is excellent. A good way to start my year of reading.
