Whiskey Sour by J.A. Konrath
4.0
'Whiskey Sour' by J.A. Konrath is a muscular mystery, Book One in a series. There is a huge current of cynical dark humor throughout the story, and it is omnipresent in almost every character. In my opinion, while the humor inserts a common tone to the book and it is very entertaining, too many characters possess this single voice. The exceptions, the psychopath serial killer and the FBI, have extreme voices as well, so it would be fair to say this writer is not nuanced.
'Whiskey Sour' is not overly graphic, but hello, this is about a crazy sadistic killer of women, so those who are squeamish should avoid Jack Daniels and her cases. Daniels is really a neat character, but she is totally the traditional hardcore job-obsessed divorced police lieutenant who is lonely and can't sleep and does fist fights with men twice her size while tossing wisecracks. I liked her.
