Friday Memes: Whiskey Sour by J. A. Konrath

Happy Friday everybody!

Beginning:

There were four black and whites already at the 7-Eleven when I arrived. Several people had gathered in the parking lot behind the yellow police tape, huddling close for protection against the freezing Chicago rain.

They weren't there for Slurpees.

Friday 56:

"Let's have Booster's entire life checked out, see if he ever knew someone named Buddy."

"Tall task."

"We'll give it to the task force." I grinned, changing the subject. "I know how the killer dumped the body in the can without being seen."

This week I am spotlighting a book that has been languishing on my Kindle since August of 2015. Whiskey Sour by J. A. Konrath is the first in the Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels mystery series. Here is the description from Amazon.

Lieutenant Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels is having a bad week. Her live-in boyfriend has left her for his personal trainer, chronic insomnia has caused her to max out her credit cards with late-night home shopping purchases, and a frightening killer who calls himself 'The Gingerbread Man' is dumping mutilated bodies in her district.

While avoiding the FBI and its moronic profiling computer, joining a dating service, mixing it up with street thugs, and parrying the advances of an uncouth PI, Jack and her binge-eating partner, Herb, must catch the maniac before he kills again...and Jack is next on his murder list.

Whiskey Sour is the first book in the bestselling Jack Daniels series, full of laugh-out-loud humor and edge-of-your-seat suspense.
