"As usual, Konrath kept me interested through the whole book. I've never read one of his that I didn't like and he didn't disappoint me this time. Tequila was really a bad guy, but you had to like him anyway. Action packed all the way through! "

    " I have been totally impressed with Konrath's ability to promote his books and have become a follower of his blog, but had not read anything until this week. This is a pretty good "beach read," a special category of escapism that I like to read. If you like John Locke, you will probably like Konrath better because the characters have more depth and the plots more dimension. Yep, bottom-line, I'll read more of his books. "

    " Shot of Tequila was my first J.A. Konrath novel -- apparently I've missed several along the way. At first I was annoyed that the book didn't spend enough time with Jack Daniels -- the character I thought was to be the focus. Then, when I understood that Tequila was indeed the main character I became intrigued. It's not often that the criminal (not the detective) is the main character in a mystery. I liked the change. I came to like the character, and I definitely liked the story. I was intrigued by the author's sense of humor -- even in dire conditions. The language is a bit rough for me, but it seems to fit the situations and characters, so I'd recommend this book. "
