100 Book Challenge - Book 29 - Bloody Mary



Book 29 / 100
Book: Bloody Mary (Jack Daniels Mystery #2)
Author: J.A. Konrath
ASIN: B00BB62RZI / ISBN: 978-1401300890
Pages: 252

Take one tough but vulnerable cop, 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, and that’s just the start of Chicago PD’s Lieutenant Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels life at the moment.

When unaccounted for body parts turn up in the morgue, wearing Jack’s handcuffs, things start getting complicated. As more parts get planted, Jack and her partner Herb close in on an accomplice, one who won’t talk because he fears for his life… His partner is a CPD police officer!

But catching the rogue officer is just half the story, from there the path gets messy as he escapes and begins a killing spree that leads straight to Jack’s apartment, her ailing mother and her lover!

Rating: 5 out of 5 Stiff Drinks. This book most definitely had me on the edge of my seat, a rip-roaring ride. It’s not often that a book can shock me with the way the characters act, but this one had a villain that really knocked me for six. I will caution though, this story does get rather bloody, and you might find out more about bad guys than you wish…
