Publisher Description

Lieutenant Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels is having a bad week. Her live-in boyfriend has left her for his personal trainer, chronic insomnia has caused her to max out her credit cards with late-night home shopping purchases, and a frightening killer who calls himself "The Gingerbread Man" is dumping mutilated bodies in her district.

While avoiding the FBI and its moronic profiling computer, joining a dating service, mixing it up with street thugs, and parrying the advances of an uncouth PI, Jack and her binge-eating partner, Herb, must catch the maniac before he kills again...and Jack is next on his murder list.

Whiskey Sour is the first book in the bestselling Jack Daniels series, full of laugh-out-loud humor and edge-of-your-seat suspense.

"I really loked this book. Jack Daniels is a great heroine and there was just the right mix of humor and savage crime to keep the book moving and me wanting to know what was going to happen next. I look forward to reading the rest of the series. "

— Elizabeth (4 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “Konrath’s most distinctive contribution to the serial-killer genre.”

    — Kirkus Reviews
  • “Dual voices add considerable interest to this debut novel…The production’s conversations sound more like those of a radio play than a reading, and one gets the feeling that both actors are having fun. This is a fine series opener.”

    " Jack Daniels is like Stephanie Plum with a brain and serious set of brass balls. Also the Ginger Bread Man is one of the greatest villains I've every read. A great book and a great audio production. "

    " Very intense book. Not what I normally read so at times I had to put it down to read something else (a light hearted book) so that I could get to bed. I liked the book and will definetly read another one of J.A. Konrath's books. Awesome read! "

    " I'm not fond of books that spend a lot of time describing the serial killers acts. It felt like 40% of the book was from the killers narrative I guess just not my kind of book "

    " good mystery, a little gruesome for me. The chapters flopped back and forth between Jack (main character) and the killer. It was interesting to know who the killer was up front. I like the main character, so I may check out the next book (Bloody Mary), but I'm not sure yet. "

    " This book was ok. I liked "Jack" Daniels, and all the other good guys. I didn't like the segments in the book where the reader is invited into the Murderer's thoughts: too many of those. "

    " The Konrath books are fun. Anybody who has a chick detective named Jack Daniels is irresistible to me. Fans of Fforde, Moore and Rankin should like these, though they lack the literary merit of those writers. "

    " I was listening to the audio version of this book, and it was extremely graphic. The reader was very good at portraying the villain. It was extremely disturbing. I'm sure if I had been reading as opposed to listening it would have been more enjoyable. "
