4.5 Stars.....why? Because there were a few scenes that were "totally" unreal. For example, 1. You don't ward off a grizzly bear by slapping it on the head! 2. You don't give natural child birth, hop off the birthing table and start chasing a serial killer and 3. You don't have 6 hours of majo...
I've read several of the Jack Daniels mysteries before and enjoyed them. However this book, Shot of Tequila, written earlier in JA Konrath's career before he created the Jack Daniels character, is even better. The central character in this book is Tequila, a debt collector for a loan shark named ...

‘Bloody Mary’ is absolutely hilarious. It also will be horrific and shocking for those innocents in society oblivious of the minds and activities going on around them by those who are twisted and murderous.
