Book Review:
Welcome Back Jack is a novel about Jack, a homicide detective in New Rhodes, that is investigating the ongoing case of the “South End Killer”. When Jack was a child, his parents were murdered in their home, but they found the killer and he was executed. Now, Jack has come to the shocking conclusion that they got wrong killer, that real one is out and about. As the killer gets more and more threatening to the city, Jack has to quickly find the killer.
Welcome Back Jack was awesome! I was hooked on the first page! I really enjoyed Jack's "background" story with the connection to the serial killer. The serial killer reminded me a bit of Hannibal Lecter which made the story even more appealing. Mr. Sweeny did a fantastic job involving suspense and detail into this story! Five stars!
