This is a specially priced box set of three novels in the Jack Daniels thriller series (#4, #5, #6).

D I R T Y M A R T I N I

In Whiskey Sour, Chicago police Lieutenant Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels hunted down a killer dubbed "The Gingerbread Man."

In Bloody Mary, she busted a psychopath with a penchant for dismemberment.

In Rusty Nail, it was a serial killer with a doozy of a family tree.

And now, in Dirty Martini, Jack faces her toughest adversary yet: a sicko who's poisoning the city's food supply. But that's just the start of what he has planned, because he's aiming to kill fifty thousand people in the single biggest act of terrorism the US has ever seen. Can she stop him -- and decide whether to accept boyfriend Latham's surprise proposal -- without destroying both her reputation and her sanity?

Join Jack, her partner Herb, and her nemesis Harry McGlade, for her fourth, and greatest, case so far.

F U Z Z Y N A V E L

Things are going well for Lieutenant Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels of the Chicago Police Department. She has solved some of the city's toughest and most high-profile homicides. Her personal life is finally in order. Her friends and family are safe and happy. And she just got a call that eased her mind like nothing else could: Alex Kork, one of the most dangerous criminals Jack ever arrested, killed herself while in jail.

But things sour quickly when a group of vigilantes on a murderous spree decide to take down a cop and the people she cares about ... and they turn downright awful when Jack discovers that Kork may not be dead after all.

Trapped in her house with a psycho and everyone she cares about, and unable to leave because she's surrounded by snipers, the next eight hours will be the worst of Jack's life. And that's saying something.

Fuzzy Navel is Jack's fifth adventure, perfect for readers who like their mysteries with a shot of humor.

C H E R R Y B O M B

At the end of Fuzzy Navel, J. A. Konrath surprised readers with an agonizing cliffhanger: One of Lieutenant Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels's loved ones is dead. But who? Readers were left clamoring to know more.

Cherry Bomb, the sixth Jack Daniels mystery, opens at the funeral. While Jack stands graveside, tears in her eyes, her cell phone rings. It's the killer, escaped maniac Alex Kork, taunting Jack, drawing her ever further into a twisted game of cat and mouse. Because while Alex is more than willing to kill random victims, Jack is her true prey. But which woman wants revenge more?

Cherry Bomb is J. A. Konrath's most gripping novel of suspense yet--filled with twists and turns that will keep readers on the edge of their seats.

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

I often get asked by readers what order the Jack Daniels books should be read in.

I purposely write each book so it can be read without any prior knowledge of any of the others. If you want to start on the last book and work backwards, or start in the middle, you can still enjoy the series without missing anything.

That said, some readers do want a chronological list of events in Jack's life. So here it is.

Besides the eleven main Jack Daniels novels, Jack and her cohorts have appeared as supporting characters in several other books and stories. Here's the order, from her years as a rookie cop, to the future.

Plausible Deniability

Shallow as a Dirty Martini

May 29, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I plowed through the first book on a slow day when I had nothing else to do. The writing made it easy enough to turn pages--and to skip pages, especially when the author took her time being as graphic as possible. I get that she's competing with the "gritty" detective books that male writers are known for writing, but often it came across as forced and gratuitous.

The main character, named Jack Daniels (male name, hard alcohol--yep, definitely one-upping the male writers, if in name only), was extremely shallow. In order to feminize her hard core detective the author has her thinking in brand-name details about her clothes all the time. Even after someone very close to her winds up in the hospital and isn't expected to live she spends a lot of time thinking about what she'll wear to work. I get that this is supposed to be a fascinating contrast to her pseudo-male hardness, but it just comes off as bizarre, unnatural, and unfeeling. If the author had indicated that the character was focusing on these details to keep her fear of what could happen to her loved one at bay, that would be different. But no, it's just treated as normal behavior for our "heroine."

And then there's her immediate attraction to a "hottie" FBI agent despite just moments earlier telling the man in her life she loves him. It's really hard to get behind her when she reveals herself to be horrifyingly callous about the man she loves as she indulges in her shallow attraction to the agent. She does eventually say no before it goes too far, and figures out some of her problems in the process, but it's done so lightly and shallowly with scarcely any real feeling that she doesn't come off as any deeper than a dirty martini.

Then there's the absurd number of times cops around her get killed but she manages to survive every event with a few bumps and bruises. This happens so often that by the end, in the big climax, I was bored with the idea of her surviving yet another "unsurvivable" situation. Since I figured the next two books would be more of the same I closed out the collection then and there.

This was a highly forgettable book--since I skipped the gratuitously graphic parts--but it was well-written, so there is that.

I enjoyed Shot of Tequilla, but the rest of these books became increasingly, senselessly violent. I hated how much Alex got away with before she was caught, and who she killed. At times, I didn't like the protagonist, Jack, which I suppose adds a touch of realism, but it's as if the author searched his mind for the most disgusting, painful ways to die or be killed, and I did not find that entertaining. I only read thru the series to see if/when Jack would catch Alex. I won't be reading any more of this author's books...just not a fan of such excessive gore.

Although there were several typos throughout all three books, I thought the stories were phenomenal. Not sure why I didn't know about this writer sooner, as his style is just my kind of reading. What I didn't care for was the sixty plus pages of acknowledgements at the end of book one. I think that's something that should go at the end of the boxed set and if people want to read it, they have the option of skipping it and moving to the next book on their kindle. Very intense, many moments throughout all three books that I laughed out loud. There is some gore, there are sexual scenes that will make you cringe, but definitely worth the read. Will carry on with J.A. Konrath and the Jack Daniels series.

Fell in luv with the cast of characters in the Jack Daniels series.

May 12, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I can't say enough great things about this writer and his books.

Being a huge fan of thriller/horror I found it difficult to find writers that will give me goose bumps (or even gross me out, lol). I luv the gore like in the Saw movie series and this writer came the closest to that type of horror/gore/thriller that I've read.

Each of the characters that Jack Daniels comes across draws you into their trap (one way or the other), you turn the pages while on the edge of your seat, knuckles turning white from holding your blankie in one hand and "book" in the other, waiting with baited breath to find out what happens next.

The price for these ebooks are phenomenal, unlike those of the Steven King, Dean Koontz, etc. I do like the writings of the afore mentioned authors but when you can get the same thrill for a fraction of the price, why not.

I highly recommend these writers, it is also worth mentioning that J.A. Konrath is the name the author uses when writing horror/thriller, I have also read his mystery/suspense penned under his name Jack Kilbourne.

An Acquired Taste, Much Like The Drinks the Novels are Named For

May 26, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Series of raw, raucous thrillers complete with graphic violence, language and explicit sexual situations. Balanced against this are characters I couldn't help but like, off-beat humor, and plenty of action making for some fast-paced reads. My suggestion before you take the plunge would be to have a free sample of each book sent your way just to be sure it suits your taste before ordering the three pack. Could be a good bargain for you in the end (would be like getting one of the three for free) but only if you aren't otherwise turned off by the writing style. Like the title of my review, an acquired taste...

His characters definitely need counseling!!

October 21, 2013

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

If Latham KNOWS he's going to get the crap beat out of him MORE THAN ONCE, maybe he should rethink his relationship with Jack Daniels. Come on!! That's what makes it so funny. In the middle of a horrific onslaught of gunfire and terror, Jack's mother takes a moment to reveal that she gave that stupid Harry up for adoption and now he and Jack are siblings........except I haven't finished the last book yet, and haven't. Latham, you idiot, you should have listened. And Jack, after getting the total crap beaten out of her manages to crawl up onto a roof after she's probably suffered a subdural hematoma, and has had the fastest recuperation on record! The author obviously is a crazy man, which is why I love his books. If you want entertainment, you have got to read these books!!!

Konrath's writing is creative and intense. The plot twists are unexpected, yet stay true to character. I thoroughly enjoyed these three books.
