You know what drives me nuts? When characters make incredibly stupid, out-of-character decisions for no other reason than to keep the plot going. It's almost worse hearing it from an audiobook. I spent almost an entire disc's running time yelling at the narrator. Not a bad way to channel road rage, but a disappointing (and off-puttingly gory) misstep for this series. ( )

Which is worse, a copycat killer, or the fact that a crazy nutjob serial case like The Gingerbread Man may have friends and family that follow in his footsteps.

Either way, Jack Daniels and friends are in for some more pain as this time the bad guys are way ahead of them. Which is going to hurt. A lot.

Being on the Bomb Squad or working as a mine sweeper might be less dangerous than being her boyfriend, too.

Pretty similar depraved killer and black humour crime story here as per the last two.

Jack Daniels and her partner, Herb, are tracking down a possible copycat for a serial killer they already nabbed. Funny and thrilling at the same time. There were actually moments when I chuckled aloud (and get funny looks for doing so, but oh well). The bad guys are great bad guys, the good guys are wonderful as well. The only bad thing was that I figured out who done it too early in the book. Which just left me a little annoyed as the evidence looked Jack in the face and left her befuddled. I felt like I was watching a horror movie, y'know--"Don't go in there! Run away from the weird noise! Man, you are an idiot!" Oh well, a great read anyway. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 140130088X, Hardcover)

Lt. Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels of the Chicago Police Department is back, and once again she's up to her Armani in murder. Someone is sending Jack snuff videos. The victims are people she knows, and they share a common trait -- each was involved in one of Jack's previous cases. With her stalwart partner hospitalized and unable to help, Jack follows a trail of death throughout the Midwest, on a collision course with the smartest and deadliest adversary she's ever known. During the chase, Jack jeopardizes her career, her love life, and her closest friends. She also comes to a startling realization -- serial killers have families, and blood runs thick. Rusty Nail features more of the laugh-out-loud humor and crazy characters that saturated Whiskey Sour and Bloody Mary, without sacrificing the nail-biting thrills. This is Jack Daniels' third, and most exciting, adventure yet!
