Odd Hours 171 reviews Dean Koontz
Bantam, 2008
Has Dean Jumped the Shark?

Fuzzy Navel (Jack Daniels Mysteries) 32 reviews J. A. Konrath
Hyperion, 2008
Reeled in for Reasons Unknown
I love the Jack Daniels series, but the reasons are so odd its tough to put to words. Jack is intelligent and tough without being manish and unemotional. Her friends and partners are unique and different and sometimes annoying. Still, what really drags you in to a Jack Daniels mystery is the ...
