Lieutenant Jacqueline Daniels is having a bad week. Her live-in boyfriend has left her for his personal trainer, chronic insomnia has maxed out her credit cards with late-night home shopping purchases, and a frightening killer who calls himself "The Gingerbread Man" is dumping mutilated bodies in her district.
Between avoiding the FBI and their moronic profiling computer, joining a dating service, mixing it up with street thugs, and parrying the advances of an uncouth PI, Jack and her binge-eating partner Herb must catch the maniac before he kills again...and Jack is next on his murder list.
Whiskey Sour is full of laugh-out-loud humor and edge-of-your-seat suspense, and it introduces a fun, fully drawn heroine in the grand tradition of Kinsey Millhone, Stephanie Plum, and Kay Scarpetta.
Dual voices add considerable interest to this debut novel about a female Chicago cop's efforts to track down a serial killer while trying to develop a social life of her own. Susie Breck's take on Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels shows her determination, energy, and self-deprecating humor. Dick Hill does the twisted "Gingerbread Man"; Daniel's partner, who always has his mouth full; and the bumbling FBI agents who insist on helping. The production's conversations sound more like those of a radio play than a reading, and one gets the feeling that both actors are having fun. This is a fine series opener, with BLOODY MARY and RUSTY NAIL to follow within the year. J.B.G. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine
