Jazz is a 17 year old boy who had to grow up with his serial killer father, his dad was arrested when he was 13 and now bodies are piling up in his town of Lobo's Nod, that are killed in exactly the same way his dad killed people. He, his girlfriend(Connie), and best friend (Howie) must hunt down and find this killer to prove that Jazz is not turning out like his "Dear Old Dad"
This book was really good. Jazz grew up with a serial killer for a dad. When Jazz was 13 his dad was finally caught and put in prisson. His dad taught him everything about killing people and not getting caught. So now that bodies started piling up in Lobo's Nod, he will use his skills to bring the killer to justice. Also he wants to prove that he won't turn into a serial killer like his dad.
This was a really good book, and I don't read very many mystery novels. This is because I always guess who the killer is, and this book was no different. These stories rarely ever break this one rule. I also guessed correctly who killed Jazz's mother. It was a little insanely obvious who it was. While Billy Dent did use killing Jazz's dog to teach him a lesson, it was still a good lesson to learn. I'm not saying I agree with Billy's teaching strategies, he did raise Jazz to be smart, and while he didn't count on being caught and sent to jail, Billy taught his son good lessons for the life he was going to give him. On a final side note, I find it hilarious that the psycho murderer's son is chilling with a hemophiliac.
I loved this book it was the best thing I've ever read. Jazz was the character that I think might be the best as well as my favorite because of his talent to be so ruthless and hard-hitting with his personality. The thing the builds on to his personality is just the way he is the only cop that can see from the killer's point of view. He is able to think like the killer, to almost be the killer in a sense. My favorite part was the ending; it was so fast-paced but understandable, just everything going perfect then it all falls apart in a way that is amazing.
This book has a different twist to mystery, which I really like. Jazz grew up with a serial killer for a dad. I especially like the opening scene when Jazz is hiding watching the cops investigate the murder. The way he analyzes the work shows how much his dad really did teach him. When murders start to happen in his town that show the same work as his dear old dad, how could it be him? He is in jail. His girlfriend Connie and his friend Howie help him hunt down the killer to prove he is innocent. The strange thing about this book is that I knew who the serial killer was as soon as he showed up. It added a great bit of dramatic irony to the entire novel though, and I kind of liked yelling at Jazz to open up his eyes.
