Enjoy your stay, you amazing bookdragons ❤
When Jack was six years old, his parents were brutally slain by a serial killer. The police later found drifter Clyde Colsen driving a stolen car, his clothes soaked in blood. He was tried, convicted and executed. Jack grew up knowing that they got the guy.
Now, Jack, a decorated homicide detective in New Rhodes, arrives at the third crime scene of the “South End Killer” murders and finds his name. He will soon find out something else: Thirty years ago, they got the wrong guy. And now the right guy’s come back to pay Jack and New Rhodes his bloody respects.
As Jack struggles to stay on the case, his cat-and-mouse with the killer makes him wonder if he’s the cat or the mouse. His family, and everyone in his life is fair game. As the killer escalates and threatens the entire city, Jack has a question he must answer in his desperation; can he stop the monster without becoming one?
I remember the good ol’ days where I used to love, absolutely love buckling down with a good mystery or a crime thriller. The ones that get your head working overtime and the ones that give you shivers when all you can see when you close your eyes is every single gruesome detail in technicolor!
I had forgotten how much I absolutely enjoyed those times and Welcome Back Jack reminded me of it – every single moment I was reading it!
We are introduced to Jack Taggart, a top detective in New Rhodes, a married man, he enjoys his life – even if it does take it’s toll. We meet at a Crime Scene – a crime scene that is brutal as it is innovative (I could give you details but I am definitely not, because it will spoil all the fun!).
When Jack gives it all to the serial killer case that he is working on, it slowly dawns on to him, that the killer himself is playing a game, a game that has it’s roots in the past, Jack’s past to be precise. For Jack’s parents were murdered brutally and their killer caught and executed. So how is it the killer from now and killer from the connected?
Liam Sweeny does a brilliant job of explaining the typical procedural drama without overwhelming the reader and he does with an aplomb that sticks with you throughout the book and even after finishing it.
We have a fast paced crime mystery, and characters that are so in depth that it was hard to get out of them! This kind of crime thriller takes you by your throat and makes you give up every single thing in your mind, because let’s face it, catching the killer is much more important than sleeping, or eating and maybe even showering (or is it just me?).
