Cherry Bomb

A Jacqueline 'Jack' Daniels Mystery #6

By: J. A. Konrath

Narrated by: Susie Breck, Dick Hill

At the end of Fuzzy Navel, J. A. Konrath surprised listeners with an agonizing cliff-hanger: One of Lieutenant Jacqueline “Jack” Daniels’s loved ones is dead. But who? Listeners were left clamoring to know more.

Cherry Bomb, the sixth Jack Daniels mystery, opens at the funeral. While Jack stands graveside, tears in her eyes, her cell phone rings. It’s the killer, escaped maniac Alex Kork, taunting Jack, drawing her ever further into a twisted game of cat and mouse. Because while Alex is more than willing to kill random victims, Jack is her true prey. But which woman wants revenge more?

Cherry Bomb is J. A. Konrath's most gripping novel of suspense yet—filled with twists and turns that will keep listeners on the edge of their seats.

"One part murder, two parts mayhem, with a generous splash of humor and garnished with some of the most interesting characters in current fiction." – eBookreporter.com

Amazing..

I got sucked in and stayed up until 3AM to finish it. I am going to read Cherry Bomb on to the next. Keep up the great writing.
The narration team is Amazing.. Very believable and easily enjoyed... !!

Great detective series, Best read in order

I highly recommend this detective series. I am looking forward to reading the extra books you can get based on the characters in this series. After reading a lot of reviews there were a lot of complaints concerning the amount of violence. I actually think it makes for a more exciting book in this series but I don't always think that way. I do like that the books are not based around sex or sex scenes. Although they all have some romance and personal relationships and friendships. I really like that all the characters stay true to their intended personalities throughout the series of books. I highly recommend reading in order although it is not necessary but I feel it does make for faster paced, more exhilarating experience.

Tho I Luv the Jack Daniels series, I found. ..

I found this book different than the others, personally I found this story did not move add fast paced as the others.

Cherry bomb does give a more in depth look into Jack, Phin, Harry, Herb, and the rest of the characters in Jacks life. It is worth the read/listen especially if you are like me and reading/listening to all of Jacks adventures.

not as good as previous in series

disappointed in this one in series. too long, too many unnecessary details, too much detailed sex, way way too much monkey acts description...just disappointed.

TOO much sex..became unreal

Would you try another book from J. A. Konrath and/or Susie Breck and Dick Hill ?

I would be hesitant to try another book...although Breck and Hill were very good.

Would you be willing to try another book from J. A. Konrath? Why or why not?

Again I would be hesitant I think the plot was lost with so many sex scenes.

Which character – as performed by Susie Breck and Dick Hill – was your favorite?

Jack Daniels she was determined and in the end did a self-evaluation.

Did Cherry Bomb inspire you to do anything?

NO!

Any additional comments?

I'll wait for more reviews before I purchased another J.A. Konrath.

Susie Breck and Dick Hill are fantastic narrators

As with all the Jack Daniels audible series, I love the storyline in each book. Susie Breck and Dick Hill make the characters come to life. Love listening to the parts for Harry McGlade because it's hilarious to me.

WOW

ALWAYS LEAVE THEM WANTING MORE. HURRY UP ALREADY, READY FOR THE NEXT ONE. LOVE THIS STORY LINE, NARRATION IS WONDERFUL. GREAT LISTEN EASY TO GET INTO. WOULD NOT ASK FOR BETTER. JUST MORE

Horrific and Hilarious!

Would you listen to Cherry Bomb again? Why?

The detailed descriptions of the executions were shocking and made my skin crawl..That's the horrific part. The antics of Harry and his pet monkey were hilarious. I am actually listening to the story for a second time now and am not quite so shocked about the executions but the funny parts (and there are many) are just as funny the second time.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Cherry Bomb?

The description of Harry's crime-mobile. Unfortunately I didn't have the print version so I can only guess how to spell Crimabago.

What does Susie Breck and Dick Hill bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I have heard Dick Hill narrate a lot of Jack Reacher stories and he always seems to have a very matter of fact delivery. However in this story he seems more like an actor than a reader. Both Susie Breck and Dick Hill put a lot of emotion into their roles as narrators and this makes the story much more compelling. Great job!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Keep your mouth shut and watch your step.

Another adventure with Jack Daniels

This book was different from the other books. Jack has a few love scenes that felt a bit out of character but, despite that, I enjoyed the book and already have the next book so I will recommend it. You get closure, finally, to the loose ends left by the other books and Jack gets a new beginning.

Taking A Break

What did you love best about Cherry Bomb?
Nothing to love really -

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
Same old same old, really tired of Alex and felt like this was beaten to death, really sick of the whole story line.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No

Any additional comments?
Can't read anymore right now. I find the author has created some good characters, but is very sophomoric with some, it gets old and ridiculous, maybe he thinks it is funny, but it isn't and I'm tired, not sure if I'll read the last two or not. I am done for now.
