Rusty Nail

A Jacqueline 'Jack' Daniels Mystery (Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels Mysteries, Book 3)

By: J. A. Konrath

Narrated by: Susie Breck, Dick Hill

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—all were involved in one of Jack's previous cases. With her stalwart partner, Herb, 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 has 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 Lt. Jack Daniels' third, and most exciting, adventure yet.

Critic reviews

"Konrath creates the perfect blend of pulse-pounding thrills, side-splitting humor." (David Ellis, author of In the Company of Liars)

"Jack Daniels is a detective for the new millennium: sharply witty, deftly wry, and unabashedly cleve." (James Rollins, author of Black Order)

I absolutely love this series.

J.A. Konrath is witty amd clever. The story line was thrilling andI love the characters. I have trouble turning off Konrath's audiobooks. The writing is fantastic but I'm thoroughly amused by the narrators, Susie and Dick. I love how they interact and turn the whole thing into a show. I can't get enough! I would say this series wouldn't be the same without them!

Really enjoying series

Another great detective book in the series continuing the adventures of Jack, Harry and Jack's partner along with the rest of the characters. Once again great audio

The stressful life of a detective

This book was so full of twists and turns that I couldn't put it down. Very good detective story with plenty of action

So gross, but so good!

I have read a lot of gross murder mysteries but this series is the grossest. But it is soooooo good. The characters are beyond nuts. A hero psycho cat is the best.

Hilarious and horrifying back and forth!

Love the characters! Can't figure out how Jack Daniels still has such a good sense of humor after all she's been thru!

Nasty Goodness!! The Series Just Gets Better!

Where does Rusty Nail rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Every book in the series is better than the last. The characters and their relationships continue to evolve. The plots keep you guessing until the end, I also like that Konrath doesn't add in too many new characters and I appreciate that. I find that some authors write too many new characters in and the book loses its cohesiveness. It can be confusing but Konrath keeps a laser focus on what matters.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Rusty Nail?

The cat of course, so great!! Also, the killer. I can't say more, I don't want to spoil anything.

Which scene was your favorite?

Any of the cat scenes were great! The final fight scene was also awesome! Oh yeah the cat was there too.

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

I hate this question. I'd rather let the author figure this out.

Any additional comments?

Great Book, Great Series!!! Highly Recommended!!

Not for those with a weak stomach

Gore ... If you enjoy a lot of gore, you will love this story. It is a good mystery, and the readers are fine. Just when you think it cannot get worse, you get hit with an even more gory sequence.

Gorey Fun

‘Rusty Nail’ is another great addition to the Jack Daniels Series. The book is a good mix of action and plot development but isn’t for the faint of heart as it has a lot of gratuitous violence. The characters are interesting and fun and make for an interesting story (although I figured out who the killer was about half way through). The writing is good just make sure you don’t read it over your morning cereal!

Having two narrators is great and really helps bring the story to life. Both narrators do a superb job!

luv me some Jack Daniels
