The latter, plus the long series of excerpts from other books left me feeling less than charitable by the time I quit reading the excerpts. Apr 16, Angie rated it it was amazing.

Jack Daniels Stories

I'm not usually into the short stories but these were quite good. A couple I skipped over because I heard them at the end of some of the Jack Daniels books. I even liked the Harry McGlade ones! I just can't get enough of this author and these characters!! Sep 10, Brenda rated it really liked it. Fifteen different short stories set in the Jack Daniels universe written by J. If you love the characters, you'll enjoy these shorts.

I especially loved the ones with McGlade. Jul 07, Chris Birdy rated it it was amazing. I listened to this one. Only Dick Hill can bring the wacky characters to life. Harry McGlade is the most obnoxious and enjoyable. Mar 23, Sandra Burns rated it it was amazing. Great mix of stories. I am a new fan of Jack Daniels detective series, love her.

Nice collection of short stories based on all the Jack Daniels characters. A must read for all those who can't get enough of this series! Apr 30, Kat Lebo rated it liked it. Jack Daniels Stories by J. Konrath I went into this thinking that the Jack Daniels character would be the star of all of the stories, but she isn't. So Phin wins the most stories lottery in this collection of shorts.

In general I enjoyed the stories. Certainly, a short story does not allow the depth of development that a novella or novel does, and that showed. While I wasn't fond of the picture the stories painted of Phineas Troutt, preferring what I know of him from the three series novels I've read, I tended to enjoy his stories the most. Of the stories featuring the Jack Daniels character, "Body Shots" was, to me, the best of the lot. I enjoyed the story featuring Herb Benedict, too, feeling that it gave me more insight into the character, which will come into play in reading the remaining series novels.

The last story in the collection, a Harry McGlade short, bears an "Author's Note," warning the reader that he considers this the funniest thing he's ever written, but also the most offensive. He was correct on both counts. I can't say I enjoyed it as it fully lives up to Konrath's offensive warning, but the humor in it was good, and I especially liked his Clive Cussler touch of having Jack Daniels ask Harry if he'd every read J.

In the first three novels of the series, every time the main character and sometimes other characters appears, Konrath meticulously describes what she is wearing, name brands and all.

Bloody Mary

That only appears once in four stories in the collection "Body Shots" at location on Kindle. Guess the fashion descriptions must have cut too deeply into the allowed word count! If you like the Jack Daniels series, you'll like these short stories. I always like reading shorts featuring characters from the series I follow. While the shorts can't match the character and plot development of a novel, they are great ways to gain insight into character, personality, backstory and motivation.

Not all include the Jack Daniels character, but feature supporting characters from the series. Cummings was nothing to look at. Up close, she made me wish I was still in the tree. Just way too violent for my taste. Suffer — 3 Stars School Daze — 3. Feb 04, Neal Kristopher rated it really liked it. Reviews Of Unusual Size - Re: Fifteen short stories featuring the characters from Konrath's Jack Daniels series of novels. While I think Konrath's strengths lie in the field of well constructed, long form fiction, and as blogger extraordinaire some of his short stories really pack a nice punch.

Jack Daniels Stories by J.A. Konrath

Some of them are down and dirty, funny or just plain clever. And though he tentatively plans to step away from the Daniels characters after the next novel, his motley crew i Reviews Of Unusual Size - Re: And though he tentatively plans to step away from the Daniels characters after the next novel, his motley crew in this series is second to none. Some of the stories seem cut short or rushed to finale. I think there's a few moments where the characters, as established in the novels are a bit different to fit the confines of the short plot.

A fun compilation of tales at a great price. I especially enjoyed the noir-esque ones and I'll never look at little gummy fish quite the same way again! Konrath includes a brief forward before each tale. I really like it when authors do this. It's been awhile since I've read anything as good as a Jack Daniels thriller.

And I desperately needed a crime fix. This anthology of sixteen short stories not only satisfied my hunger but tickled my funny bone and got my brain twitching at the same time. Jack was on her game in several stories, along with her equally sharp partner Herb Benedict, and the locked room mysteries were hard to crack. Harry McGlade, the lovable private detective who couldn't care less about why you want his services s It's been awhile since I've read anything as good as a Jack Daniels thriller. I have a soft spot for Phin. Maybe its the poor cancer victim struggling with pain and drug addiction..

Either way, his stories, though fewer then the others were given, were just as entertaining. But nothing beats Harry's sharp wit - Rotisserie, Rheumatism Apr 18, Linda rated it liked it. I love the Jack Daniels series because I love the characters. I suffer with the extensive violence to enjoy the good stuff.

Bar Talk: Jack Daniel's Gathers Stories for Digital Campaign

I don't usually read short stories because I don't like getting invested in characters to just have my relationship with them end too soon. But because this was Jack Daniels, I figured I'd give it a try.

Knowing the characters from the series really helped to enjoy the stories more, for me.

I think I enjoyed the mysteriousness of Phin in the series better than knowing the darkness behind him that is revealed in the stories.

Harry is usually one of my favorites because he is so quirky, macho and funny. But I feel he needs Jack around more to counteract his wacked out personality. The last story featuring him was way over the top. So, even though it was not one of my favorites, I enjoyed visiting with Jack and her cohorts again.

One person found this helpful 2 people found this helpful. Love the Quick Read Stories. This is a great book to have on your Kindle, when you want a quick read and don't have time for a novel.

It makes for a great break from working book, as you can read a couple of stories and then go back to business. This is a great collection for fans of the Jack Daniels crowd. I've always loved it when Phin pops up in Jack's world, and it was awesome to see him carry his own stories. I would love to see an "unabashedly hard-boiled" book where he's the main character, btw. If you do, too, you're really going to enjoy his stories. Especially the last one.
