The combination of Jack Daniels and Harry McGlade is hilarious. The descriptions of the serial killer's actions is gory and the action non-stop. Even though I know Jack will pull through, it is still exciting. These books are a quick read and provide a few hours of good entertainment....more

There is an end tQuick mindless pulp read that just gives you something to do. The writing is average with occasionally too much attention to detail. There is an end twist to the plot but you could see some of the finale coming from a mile away. I will probably read some more of this series as I found Kinsey likeable enough but I will not plunge straight ahead and devour all of them....more

This one got a little too touchy feely at times. I am not so interested in Jack's love life as much as her work life. This woman sure gets shot and injured a lot. I will continue to read this series. I am sort of into serial killer/crime type books and this was a good find for me....more

Convoluted story with multiple simultaneous lines. Sandfords books are always a joy to read and well thought out. This one made my mind twist a little. Anytime you have a psychotic serial killer, two different converging murder paths and a deranged drug dealer then you are going to get a little confused!...more
Another one out of the park for Sandford. Lucas is one bad assed investigator. There is suspense, action murder, politics, etc. rolled up in this one.Another one out of the park for Sandford. Lucas is one bad assed investigator. There is suspense, action murder, politics, etc. rolled up in this one. The tale rolls along at a good pace and the characters are fleshed out fairly well. I guess it helps that I have read 16 of the books in the series before this. Actually though, you could pick this book up and not have to worry much about never having read any others. It plays out well by itself....more
