Publisher Description
Start with a tough but vulnerable Chicago cop. Stir in a psychopath with a unique mental condition that programs him to kill. Add a hyperactive cat, an ailing mother, a jealous boyfriend, a high-maintenance ex-husband, and a partner in the throes of a mid-life crisis. Mix with equal parts humor and suspense, and enjoy Bloody Mary.
When Jack receives a report of an excess of body parts appearing at the Cook County Morgue, she hopes it’s only a miscount. It’s not. Even worse, these extra limbs seem to be accessorized with Jack’s handcuffs.
Someone has plans for Jack. Very bad plans. Plans that involve everything and everyone that she cares about.
Jack must put her train wreck of a personal life on hold to catch an elusive, brilliant maniac—a maniac for whom getting caught is only the beginning…

"A good follow up to Whiskey Sour ...short chapters & the story fires through at a cracking pace. Although, the killer is easy to spot and Alan .... what a whelk !! As for Jack wearing 'slacks'...Unless that's an American thing, only old men wear 'slacks' up North as they find the elasticated waist more comfortable ..... maybe it's handy for the gun ......."

" I enjoyed this second in series book because of the main character, the interspersed humor and the easy flow of the plot. I will continue on with the other books about Jack Daniels. "
— Marcy, 1/22/2014 -
" I didn't like this one as much as the first. I felt that the killer was very over the top and the killings seemed excessive and unnecessary. I just didn't care for the plot in this book. 3.5 stars "

— Vicky, 1/6/2014 -
" A good J A Konrath story, will finish the series soon "
— Bill, 12/18/2013 -
" Again, I'm just reading fluff books this summer and I like all the J.A Konrath books in this series. It doesn't take itself too seriously (C'mon, the detective is Jack(lyn) Daniels) but it's a quick read and fun. "
— Dianne, 11/29/2013 -
" While this book wasn't quite as good as the first one in the series (Whiskey Sour), I still really enjoyed it. J.A. Konrath has a way of bringing you into the plot, getting you to "know" the characters, and therefore winding you into the mystery at hand. Highly recommend this series! "
— Cara, 10/9/2013 -
" I like the characters, the sense of place, and Konrath's use of dialogue keeps the story moving swiftly. Not for the feint of heart. "
— Chris, 10/5/2013 -
" I liked this book but wow some really gory details....I will continue to read the Jack Daniels books! "
— Stacy, 4/7/2013 -
" Another gory Jack Daniels thriller. It is full of action and, amazingly, has it's laugh out loud moments....Another good read by Konrath. "
— Loretta, 3/7/2013 -
" Another strong entry in this series. I can't decide if I like where the author seems to be going - he's pretty brutal to Jack and those she loves - but the humor keeps pulling me back into the story. I'll keep reading, but I'm going to wait a while before I tackle #3. "
— Penny, 10/21/2012 -
" If you are familiar with the Jack Daniel's books by J.A. Konrath, there are no surprises here. Jack hunts a deranged killer. It's a junk food book. No nutrition, but still kind of tasty. "
— John, 9/7/2012 -
" This is so far a really good series i love the heroine Jack Daniels the relationships between the characters are great. I catch myself laughing out loud while listening to the audio. Some parts are a little on the EWW factor but overall a great book. "
— Tiffany, 3/27/2012 -
" A violent series but have to see what happens to a great 40 something heroine so I will download the next audiobook. The author is the narrator and does a great job! "
— Sandra, 10/6/2011 -
" I have no desire to read a killers thoughts and fantasies about skinning people alive. "
— Rita, 8/24/2011 -
" The books have some witty banter that makes them interesting but, I don't really like the characters and the stories aren't great. Not sure if I'll read another Jack Daniels novel. "
— Jake, 5/6/2011 -

" Wow...graphic and incredibly intense villain in this one. I couldn't read this book before bed--I felt a little like the protagonist with her insomnia when I tried. "
— Marci, 3/19/2011 -
" This is one of the most fun books I ever read. I read the first page and before I knew it I was at the last. It is a riot! "
— Vfields, 3/5/2011 -
" These books are kind of a guilty pleasure. They're so over the top ridiculous that I can't help but be entertained. The gore factor is pretty high but the ridiculous story lines and joke-cracking detectives are entertaining. "
— Bridget, 1/11/2011 -
" There is a cat in this book I adore. I only wish I had created the fabulous feline! "
— Katharine, 1/5/2011 -
" This series is very dark. I have to read several books between each one to de-funk. But they're pretty good. "
— Kim, 12/18/2010 -
" Gripping, dark and humorous. Great plot, not supposed to be a quick read, but I couldn't put it down, and read it in one night. "
— Diana, 12/12/2010 -

" Another good, fun mystery & thriller from Konrath. There's plenty of humor in the interplay between the characters, but also a lot of horror in the story itself. Great combination. I look forward to reading the next. "
