This is the first book in "Dexter" series. The TV show based on the characters and plot lines of "Darkly Dreaming Dexter" was the greatest success of the Showtime network so far.
"Darkly Dreaming Dexter" is notable for providing a first-person story narrated by a serial killer. Dexter at times claims to be sub-human, but at other times claims to be slightly super-human. He claims to be emotionless due to his status as a monster, however his soft sides throw doubt on these claims.
First Time Barmaid by Louise Tonner (Author), Julie Peasgood (Narrator) very, very simple English from Introduction:
"...I'm a single mother of two boys. I've had a few part-time jobs and this story is about my first day at one of them. I hope you enjoy reading this story as much as I've enjoyed writing it.
Dedicated to my late mother, Patricia Tonner, who would often say , "you never know what you can do until you try." Without her encouragement I wouldn't have fulfilled my dream. Thank you, Mam. Also dedicated to my two sons Stephen and John.
It's my first night as a barmaid and it's my local pub. I'm scared stiff, I've never pulled a pint before. Bar people are out-going and chatty. I'm pretty quiet and shy.
"Why did I let you talk me into this job in the first place?" I say to may friend as we're walking to the pub.
"Come on, you'll love it. Just get tonight over with and tomorrow I'll be on with you. We'll have a good laugh," she says, laughing.
"That's if I get through tonight," I mutter..."
