Another great story in the Jack Daniels series. This time Jack & Herb are chasing a serial killer a little too close to home. Add in Jack's new boyfriend, her ex-husband & mom and there's a non stop joyride of suspense & laughter ( )

Just as good as the first. These are really funny and action packed and fantastic. The romance in this is kind of odd but the plot is action packed and riveting and more than makes up for it. To be fair - I'm not reading these ones for the romance so it doesn't really matter either way. Jack is a fascinating character - she's tough and strong but caring as well. Herb is entertaining, if not somewhat cliche. Harry is awesome. Alan is kind of a nothing character, I could've gone without his inclusion. Latham is slightly better and at least adds some amusing commentary. Jack's mum, Mary is brilliant. For an old chick, she's badass. The comment about drinking her name made me laugh. And the cat, dear god the cat. Hysterical. Some of the humour will probably offend people but I didn't find it too bad - I was even surprised into some chuckles. I wasn't necessarily surprised by the reveal but I definitely enjoyed the journey getting there.

There's a lot of comments about this being graphic, but I can't say I find it particularly explicit. At least, I've read worse. It's more like a Law and Order crime rather than a Criminal Minds episode for a frame of reference. ( )

Much better than the first. ( )

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. ( )

"Wow Again" on this second installment in the Jack Daniels series!

A small backstory:

Jack is back! This time though she has to deal with a lot of home issues besides trying to track down another serial killer. This serial killer is almost as bad as the last one as he goes on a murdering spree and Jack has a hard time keeping up. Jack and Herb though get a shock when they realize that the killer could very well be someone they know and is closer to them than they think.

Is the killer someone they know? What has triggered this killer to murdering people? Does Jack and Herb catch the killer before it is too late? No spoilers here as you will just have to read the book!

Thoughts:

Another stellar read from this author and I was on the edge of my seat through most of the book! More humorous quips are tossed between Jack and Herb which gave me the chuckles here and there throughout the book.

The action is fast paced and there were some twists and turns throughout the story. Looking forward to the next book in the series! Giving this one five "Murdering Maniac" stars! ( )
