Fuzzy Navel by JA Konrath…

Have you ever had a fuzzy navel?

You take 1 ½ ounces of Peach Snapps and 3 ounces of orange juice.  Pour the Snapps in a rocks or old fashioned glass over ice.  Add orange juice. 

I just finished a Fuzzy Navel. It left a satisfying taste in my mouth that won’t go away for a long time.  No, I’m not taking about the drink.  I’m talking about JA Konrath’s new novel that comes out in July. 

This is the fifth in the Jacqueline “Jack” Daniels mystery series and it rocks.  The pace of the action makes a formula one racer look like a go cart running with a governor.

What happens when three snipers band together over one man’s compulsion for revenge?  Things turn deadly and spiral out of control.   Add a stone cold killer that Jack sent to prison and you have a novel with more twists and turns than an Arizona flash flood.

One minute the hairs on the back of my neck were standing at attention and the next, I chortled so hard that I would have blown coke out of my nose if I’d been drinking one.

 If you can hold it in when Mr. Friskers gets a hold of Harry McGlade’s twins, you’re a better person than I am.

I have to admit to one disappointment.  I’ll have to wait until next year to find out who died in the end.  You’ll understand when you read the novel.

JA, thanks for the thrills.
