Longer review to come, when I'm feeling more awake... Definitely love the Gothic-ish themes: Unwell narrator; questions about humanity and the masks we all wear; the sexual undertones of the catharsis of murder; moments of feverish, near-hallucinatory or quasi-paranormal discovery. Dexter's narration gets a little pretentious, but his arrogance is in character. Deb is obviously a treasure. And the diverse cast is very very much appreciated, if a little spread too thin.
