“this guy is soooo twisted, i love it :) i like murder mysteries and detective stories and i love sarcasm and quick wit, these books are all of that... grisly, gruesome, and violent without being over descriptive... ”

“Awesome book! I loved how the author took me from being scared to death, to laughing, to crying all within a couple chapters. Excellent writing.”

“ I didn't find it really as gruesome as everyone has said although it has its moments. Definitely a page-turner. I couldn't put it down. Not my usual type of book but I can't wait to continue the series.”

Jack Daniels is back, and her stress level is higher than ever. Her aging mother fell and was not discovered for several days. Jack feels that it may be time for her mom to live with her, as her mom will never agree to live in an assisted living environment. She has not been honest with Jack about the number of times she's fallen which worries Jack.
Jack also has to deal with her partner Herb Benedict and his mid life crisis. With a new car, prescription for Viagra, and a diet that is working, Herb has changed.
A new serial killer is at work in Chicago, and has made it personal. A call from the morgue advises that there are some extra body parts that appeared without any trace. There are two arms that are attached by a pair of handcuffs, and the handcuffs are Jack's. The arms have been bleached, so there is no residue which might be useful in tracking the killer.
We the reader are treated to the killer's thoughts, and we have a good suspicion of who the killer is. Jack and Herb come to the same conclusion, and he is arrested. He comes up with an unusual defense, and it is only due to diligent police work that justice is served. Jack and Herb are the kind of cops you'd like to have on your city force, and though they are efficient police officers, they are also humans with foibles and idiosyncrasies. In just two books, Konrath has carved a name for himself in mystery fiction that is impressive. ”
