Wow, this author knows how to pack a punch. I thought this would be a light fluffy read, but knew as soon as I saw a recommendation on the back by Andrew Vachss that it would be anything but. Meet Lt Jack Daniels, a hard working woman who's trying to catch a twisted serial killer. It gets a little gory when seen through the killers eyes, but this book keeps you on the edge of your seat. I already put the next three on my WL. I'm glad a fellow PBS'er recommended this new to me author!

I got the impression somehow that this was a funny cozy mystery. Whew! Not so. There are a few funny one-liners in it, but funny it is not. This is a hard-boiled lady policy detective chasing a serial killer of a particularly nasty type. (I personally get tired of authors working so hard to make their serial killers even more depraved than everyone else's serial killers....) It is, however, a good story, well written, and easy to read. I'll be ordering #2 in the series.

This book is one you won't be able to put down. Gritty thriller, police procedural, and all while having a few laughs thrown in. While the plot isn't light, Konrath brings a sarcastic humor to Jack Daniels as she hunts down a serial killer who has also set his sights on her. A great start to a series that I am looking forward to continue reading.

This is the first in a series about Lieutenant Jack Daniels. It's suspenseful and funny. I couldn't put it down! I'm on to the 2nd book in this series!
