Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Konrath's predictable sequel to Whiskey Sour (2004) is no more original than its predecessor. When two arms, sans body, turn up at a Chicago morgue, Det. Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels is surprised to discover that the mysterious limbs are joined by her own handcuffs. The killer appears to have a grudge as well as unsettling access to Jack. The dual narrative alternately follows detective and murderer, leaving little to the imagination, particularly in the realm of gore. The author reveals so much about the crimes and their motivation that the plot loses steam until the fiend is caught (halfway through the novel) and the focus shifts to ensuring that he doesn't walk. The legal finagling is a bit far-fetched, but the battle of wills between the psychopath and the cop keeps the pages turning. And like any hard-boiled detective, Jack has a problematic personal life, juggling two unstable relationships and caring for her ailing mother. Konrath peppers the story with one-liners that are sometimes riotous, often groan-worthy and occasionally inappropriately blasé, but readers with a taste for the twisted should enjoy themselves.

Like WHISKEY SOUR, the debut novel in the Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels detective series, BLOODY MARY offers the same heady mix of humor and tension. This time Jack and her partner, Herb, work to end the career of a nasty serial killer while also dealing with Herb's amusing midlife crisis and Jack's psycho cat, "Mr. Friskers." Dick Hill and Susie Breck make this material their own, and the humorous banter and edgy suspense work especially well on audio. The production includes a bonus short story, slight but funny, capably read by the author.
