Another fantastic "Jack" Daniels thriller. Investigating murders connected with a previous case, Jack is on her own since Herb is battling medical issues. McGlade steps in with surprising news, horrific murders are on her doorstep & her mom is still recovering. Fast paced & thrilling with a little comedy thrown in for a good mix. Looking forward to the next book ( )

Holy fk. My last review compared this series to a Law and Order SVU episode. This one takes it straight to Criminal Minds territory. This was fantastic. I've spent the last five minutes cackling hysterically over the ending and Phin and Harry. Fk. This was great.

It is pretty graphic though. And pretty disgusting. It's a lot more crass than the first two. But it's still extremely well written and funny and riveting. The plot is full on. I felt sorry for Jack - all the bad news that kept hitting her was horrible. Plus all the hits Herb kept taking. But she's totally badass. And Herb is ready to eat.

The cat gets me everytime.

A purring sound made me turn around. Mr. Friskers was sitting in McGlade’s lap, a dead rat in his jaws. “Good kitty,” Harry said. “Good fucking kitty.” And he continued to pet him until the ambulances arrived.

Konrath, J.A.. Jack Daniels Series - Three Thriller Novels (Whiskey Sour #1, Bloody Mary #2, Rusty Nail #3) . Kindle Edition. Well...the cat and Harry.

I can't recommend these books highly enough. They're amazing. ( )

Another awesome installment to the Jack Daniels series!

A small backstory:

Jack has her hands full this time as she takes on a family of crazy killers that are out to get her and it is somehow tied to her old case of the Gingerbread Man. In this story though, Herb is not helping her as he has some issues of his own and is not able to be by her side for the hunt of these killers.

Jack's old partner Harry tries to help but he is more of a hindrance and when Harry's fiancée (Holly) steps in to offer her services as she claims to be a private investigator, something just feels off to Jack, but against her better judgment she lets Holly help her out a little bit on the case. Jack eventually regrets the decision of Holly helping as things become twisted putting everyone in jeopardy and harm's way!

Who are these killers? How are they tied to the Gingerbread Man case? How does Holly hinder the case? Does Jack catch the killers? No spoilers here as you will just have to read the book!

Thoughts:

This book kept me in high tense mode throughout the whole story as the character, Jack becomes involved in some stuff that is almost over her head and she has to use all her skills to get herself out of the situations she finds herself in.

I had quite a few chuckles as again Jack throws out funny quips once in awhile which gives some light-heartedness to her character. I really like the character Jack as she is a no-nonsense type with a sassy attitude and each book I love her just a little more.

The banter between the characters in these books are enjoyable along with crime scene busting action of these stories just makes these books all around great reads. I am planning on reading the whole series as I have just been truly enjoying the writing style of this author and wished I had stepped into these books a long time ago.

Once again there are twists and turns throughout each chapter that kept me rolling right along with actually reading the last 50% in about 24 hours as I just could not put it down with all the action that was taking place within these pages! Giving this book five "Crazy Killers" stars! ( )

Lt Jack Daniels has received some snuff videos, made worse because she knows the people killed. They were all involved in one of Jack's previous cases. Jack investigates to find out who and why.
An interesting, gruesome and very readable mystery ( )

There were so many things that were wrong with Rusty Nail. Once again, the plot was over the top, the villain was ridiculous and the killings excessive to the point of gratuity. I ended up skimming the last 50 pages just to see if my thoughts on who the killer was correct (and it was), but I couldn't have cared less about what happened to any of the characters. Some of the humor was funny, but some of it was forced and inappropriate in light of what was going on in the story. This is a series that I will not continue reading. ( )
