Fuzzy Navel

by J.A. Konrath

Lt. Jack Daniels finally has things in order. She's engaged to Latham, her mother is living with her and safe, and there are no psychotic murderers on the loose. Oh wait, maybe we spoke too soon about that. When Jack receives news that Alex Kork, the psychotic murderer to beat all psychotic murderers, killed herself while in prison, she also receives a call from her mother asking her to come home. And when she gets home, she finds that everything is not as it seems at all.

This book is action through and through. Everyone close to Jack that we've met in the past shows up for this book. The ending leaves the reader dangling, and while some people may hate that, it didn't bother me much. That's probably because I already had the next and most recent book on reserve at the library, so I knew I wouldn't have to wait long. Now if I had to wait until next summer, I might be a little less forgiving.

All in all, another great Jack Daniels mystery. Will she ever get a chance to breathe and be happy? Well, if she did, why would we want to read THAT book?
