What if the world’s worst serial killer…was your dad?

Jasper “Jazz” Dent is a likable teenager. A charmer, one might say.

But he’s also the son of the world’s most infamous serial killer, and for Dear Old Dad, Take Your Son to Work Day was year-round. Jazz has witnessed crime scenes the way cops wish they could—from the criminal’s point of view.

And now bodies are piling up in Lobo’s Nod.

In an effort to clear his name, Jazz joins the police in a hunt for a new serial killer. But Jazz has a secret—could he be more like his father than anyone knows?

Review:

This book was surprisingly good! I wasn’t sure what to expect, and I got it last Christmas so it was about time I read it!

Jaz is the son of a notorious serial killer, and he uses what he knows about his father to try and help track down another serial killer! Which is such a fascinating idea!! It was disturbing to imagine the childhood he had and he abuse he probably had from his dad. Jaz talks about how he’s worried that he will become a killer like his father because of his upbringing, and because it might be in his families genes. But Jaz is also determined to not have his father’s actions define his life, and use his knowledge for good!

This book was quite hooking and I found myself wanting to continue to read it and see what happens! Overall, a good read and one I would recommend if you’re looking for a lighter mystery and thriller!

Happy reading!
