About this listen
Jazz is a likable teenager. A charmer. But he's also the son of a (now incarcerated) infamous serial killer, and "Dear Old Dad" (as Jazz calls him) has taught Jazz everything he knows. But what Jazz doesn't know is whether or not he is destined to follow in his father's footsteps. He knows he has urges, but he also knows (hopes) that he has a conscience, that he isn't like his father, that he can follow his own path. And so, in an effort to right his father's wrongs, Jazz decides to help the police (although they don't know it yet) hunt down "The Impressionist" - a new serial killer in town.
As The Impressionist kills more victims, Jazz uses the "skills" he's learned to determine the killer is copying his father's career - almost to the letter. Everyone in town thinks that Jazz could be the murderer, and why shouldn't they? The only people that stand by him are his hemophiliac best friend, Howie, and his tough, beautiful girlfriend, Connie - one of the few girls Jazz feels comfortable around given his father's history: His dad may have murdered dozens of women, but they were all white, and Connie is black.
As the bodies pile up, Jazz struggles with determining his "true" destiny. Ultimately, he manages to stop The Impressionist, but in the meantime learns his father has escaped from his maximum security prison, and Jazz may have played a role in his escape.... For now he's safe, but he knows his dad is out there, somewhere, looking for his next victim....

Story
John Wayne Cleaver is dangerous, and he knows it. He's obsessed with serial killers, but really doesn't want to become one. So for his own sake, and the safety of those around him, he lives by rigid rules he's written for himself, practicing normal life as if it were a private religion that could save him from damnation. Dead bodies are normal to John. They don't demand or expect the empathy he's unable to offer. Perhaps that's what gives him the objectivity to recognize that there's something different about the body the police have just found behind the Wash-n-Dry Laundromat - and to appreciate what that difference means.

Loved This Book!
Would you listen to I Hunt Killers again? Why?
If you enjoy shows like "Criminal Minds", or scary and gross crime shows revolving about serial killers, then you will love this book. The story was different, interesting, and I loved the main character. The narrator was also very good. I cant wait for the sequel!

Sick & Twisted & Oh SO Sweet!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
If you are a fan of Dexter, this is the book for you. Jaz is like a baby Dexter -- raised by his brilliant, psychotic serial killer father. Even with his father behind bars, serving dozens of life sentences for the many murders he committed, Jaz is unable to escape his father's shadow. He has thoughts constantly that veer toward the murderous side, and because of that is always doubting himself. The cast of characters is pretty intriguing as well, especially the country bumpkin Sheriff who is a pretty smart guy even though he might not seem so at first. The narrator perfectly captured Jaz in his performance, and the voice of the psychotic father and even the Sheriff. But I wasn't happy with how the friend and girlfriend and other people were portrayed. They felt like caricatures, which is disappointing because they weren't written as such. All in all, this is an excellent, engrossing audio book and well worth the purchase. It's my first audio book to complete and I am very glad to recommend it. I can't wait for the sequel!
What did you like best about this story?
The fact that the main character is so flawed but doesn't sit around and whine about it. So what if I might grow up to be a serial killer just like daddy dearest? I'm not going to whine about it. I'll go out and hunt them in the mean time!
What does Charlie Thurston bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Great vulnerability and emotion to the main character.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The scene between Jaz and his dad is amazing. So raw and chilling.

Love It!
Would you consider the audio edition of I Hunt Killers to be better than the print version?
I have not read the print version to compare.
What was one of the most memorable moments of I Hunt Killers?
Can't tell without giving the story away.
What does Charlie Thurston bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
His voice fits the book well.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
This book was great from beginning to end.
Any additional comments?
My son picked up the book with me at part 2 in a long car ride, and was able to get into it with no problem. We really enjoyed it, and commented that the ride even seemed shorter because we were so captivated by the book, the time and miles flew by. I cannot wait for the sequel!

Jazz Jazz Jazz...tell him "I'm hunting him"
Where does I Hunt Killers rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
it was different from books I normally read but different and interesting all the same!`
What other book might you compare I Hunt Killers to and why?
hmmmm..... I can't even think of one
Have you listened to any of Charlie Thurston’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No. I haven't but I hope there's a second book to this one
And I would listen to another of Charlie Thurston's performances
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I was really engaged and listening even in the car so i'm going to say yes
Any additional comments?
this book was really interesting. I usually listen to love triangles but DO enjoy a thriller every now and again. I thought this was a good take on "the son of a serial killer"
There were a few parts that were a little hard to hear but great book!

"I Hunt Killers" was pretty awesome!
What made the experience of listening to I Hunt Killers the most enjoyable?
The detail of the crimes and how the killer(s) think.
What did you like best about this story?
The plot. After the book was over and I was thinking about it, it all made sense. I'm still putting bits and pieces together. I really, really enjoyed this story. I can't wait until the next one comes out.
What does Charlie Thurston bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Absolutely! He did an outstanding job of narrating.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, but couldn't. Listened to it in my car on the way to and from work. I'd get up in the morning and couldn't wait to get in my car so I could listen to it!
Any additional comments?
Wow--what a great listen!
