Lieutenant Jack Daniels is about to start a hellacious day

3 Snipers simultaneously kill 3 separate sexual predators at exactly 5 pm making Jack’s head spin.  Arriving at the final crime scene Jack becomes a potential victim because 1 sniper hasn’t finished yet, and starts picking off cops one at a time. 

Jack is about to learn that watching cops die around her doesn’t compare to what lies in wait at home.  What will Jack do when faced with more than 1 enemy and trying to protect everyone she loves?

Fuzzy Navel is another inspiring vision into the life of Lieutenant Jack Daniels of the Chicago Police Department.  JA Konrath has erected a world for his leading lady to inhabit with the freedom to be everything she should be; wise cracking, tough talking, loyal, sensitive, and true to herself.  I always feel at home when I am encompassed by a Jack Daniels story, transported to the places of my childhood, the sights and sounds of Chicago and everything that surrounds her.

Konrath does an exceptional job at making each moment in this book count.  It was written in a small time frame and in small quarters, but it was written well and with so much action which made it larger than life.  I found myself anticipating what would happen next only to find myself on the last page and well….

Pardon me while I have a moment with the author, Mr. Konrath, was the ending really necessary?  Do you have to torture me for a whole year?  The minute I closed Fuzzy Navel I logged onto your website to get some answers and all I found was more questions and even more laughs.  It takes an author who is also truly a reader to make me laugh when I am still in shock, but kudos to you for allowing me the opportunity to forgive you before I even realized how mad I truly was.

Forgiven though he may be, I am impatiently waiting for Cherry Bomb to release in June 2009.
