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." Goodreads.com
"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?" Goodreads.com
I loved this book. I have hooked many students into reading with this story (It has been 'adopted' a few times from my classroom library). Jazz is a great character who struggles with the fact his dad is one of the most notorious serial killers of the 21st century. This allows the author to create some intense internal struggles. From page one, you like Jazz and want him to succeed in the story. Along the way you glimpse into his psyche and learn about life with a murdering father.
Warning, there are some brutal scenes in this book, but they add to the story, plot and character development.
