The Dead Man(Jack Davis Thriller's #2) by Joel Goldman

 


I don't want to say this was predictable, because it wasn't, but I did know who the killer was from pretty much the beginning. The story was fast-paced and I really liked the main character Jack. Although his tics do hinder his work and kind of detract from the story they added a bit of humor as well. This quote had me laugh out loud:

"I had one advantage over Kent and Dolan and Walter Enoch's killer. Shaking made it easier to look both ways and see who was coming at me."

To make up for his disability(Movement disorder), Jack had a smart mouth. That was entertaining for sure. I liked Lucy's character as well. She was almost as good as Jack! The thriller part wasn't too tense, which was ok. I did enjoy the storyline and the way it moved along. It didn't seem to get bogged down. 

This is the first book I've read in the Jack Davis Thriller books and I might go back and get the other two when I have finished my goal of getting through the majority of my TBR pile. I just added them to my list! This was a solid read and if you like mild thrillers then I don't think you will be disappointed in this one.
