The book opens with a gloomy, depressing scene. Jack Daniels is standing in the rain attending the funeral of her loved one killed by Alex Kork. Alex can’t even leave Jack alone long enough to grieve. Jack gets a call at the graveside from Alex advising Alex that she is ready to kill again unless Jack can find a way to stop her.

Well, I have to say I'm kind of glad that the final Jack Daniels book won't be released until November. I'm not sure I could take reading any more of Jack's encounters with psychopathic, sadistic serial killers right now. Not when I've gotten to like the character's so much, even Harry! I couldn't take it if Jack had to lose more people that she really cared about. She doesn't deserve that!

I gave this only four stars because, like it's predecessor - Fuzzy Navel - it was just a little overwhelmi ...more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. If you like suspense and you haven't been following the Jack Daniels series created by the ever surprising J. A. Konrath, it's not too late to change your ways.

As stand-alones or full series K ...more

Disappointing after Fuzzy Navel. Changed the point of view, dropped the best character...just didn't live up to the previous book.

I'm mystified WHY?! after writing two excellent books Fuzzy Navel and Afraid did J.A. Konrath change his adrenline, hard cutting style to this disappointing cozy mystery style of Cherry Bomb? And what's with the monkey fetish? ...more

This book is linked so directly to Fuzzy Navel that I just could not wait until it was in paperback to get it. Fuzzy Navel is still my favorite of the series (as the 5th book), but this one was quite good as well. I really suggest reading these books (starting with Whiskey Sour) because they are so hilarious!
