I'm not sure how I found out about Jack Daniels....the character in JA Konrath's thriller series that are named after Jack Daniels bourbon drink recipes...and I am VERY GLAD I did.
Jack is a Chicago police detective formally known as Jacqueline until she married her husband * Alan Daniels * then she became JACK DANIELS.
Since I listen to books on cds in my car, I was pleased to find that the various character voices are read by male and female voices which really helps with the continuity of characters and locations.

Reading (listening) to them in order his very helpful as unlike the Lee Childs/Jack Reacher books (no ID, no LAUNDRY, no CAR), Jack actually has a life outside of work * a mother who is a former policewoman, a current and former partner, an ex-husband, a pool-playing buddy and various pets that weave in and out of her life.
In the later/most recent books, you will learn more about cel phone technology than you thought you will ever need UNTIL YOU DO, and women will wonder how Jack knows so much about clothes designers when she drives a PREhistoric NOVA.
A GREAT read and a GREAT series to read and share over the summer....Straight UP or on the ROCKS.
