Grade: A
We've had this one on our shelves for awhile and after hearing from several of our patrons, we thought we'd try it out- so glad we did.
Jazz is the son of a convicted serial killer, living in the same town where his father was apprehended. It's also particularly interesting to note that Jazz assisted his father with the storage of the trophies that he would take from his victims. His father taught him everything and Jazz is afraid that he will eventually become a killer too. When a murder occurs in the small town bearing the characteristics of his father's handi-work, Jazz sets out to prove to himself that he is not the killer and that his father is still safely behind bars. Aided along the way by a few loyal friends and a protective police chief, Jazz will use his father's lessons on victim selection, police evasion, and crime scene staging to hunt down the real killer.
Lyga does a great job of getting the reader to sympathize with Jazz's predicament. It's suspenseful and a fast-paced murder mystery that had us constantly changing our mind about who is the real killer. Fans of Dexter and The Following will enjoy this one.
