I loved this book, creepy, creepy! Jack Kilborn is becoming one of my favorite authors. My only complaint about this one is that it seems to stop abruptly. I realize it's kind of a prequel to another of his that I read, but I still wanted it to continue. Still, I have to say it was a good read.
Poor Jack can't even stop for something to eat. She has to run into not 1 but 2 serial Killers. Donaldson and Taylor get a her into Taylor's truck and she fights her way out of it. Taylor gets arrested but Donaldson gets away. Good short story.
Serial Killers and truck stops just seem to go together. There's something about these latenite sleazy islands off the interstates that attracts the worst of our society. Two of the nastiest serial killers ever dreamed up meet by off chance. Jack Daniels, the famed police lieutenant, stops in at the truck stop for some coffee. As you might have guessed, it's getting mighty crowded there and with that much adrenalin flowing, something's bound to happen and does. A good solid thriller from the tea...
I'll admit I enjoy these novellas less than the bigger named novels if only for the fact that I need some good with my bad.I liked this one in particular a bit more because my favorite detective makes her bright appearance and at the end she outsmarts Taylor and Donaldson, both who disgust me in different ways, and manages to make an escape while also saving a hostage. It's one thing to watch the behind the scenes of these maniacs where some get killed and some get away, but I'll freely admit it...
Fast-paced!Nice quick launch into the other novels. Jack Daniels is more than a great cop, she's bad... Well worth the read!
My mother warned me about truck stops. Never, ever stop at one alone. Especially at night. You never know what evil stalks them.Truck Stop will show you just what haunts them. There’s not just one serial killer biding their time, waiting for their next delicious victim. Imagine them plotting together, working together, and trying to one up each other.In walks a woman. A homicide cop who thinks she knows all about serial killers. She’s minding her own business and stops in for a cup of java to ke...
Truck Stop is a culmination of all that is evil and perverse. Perennial killers Taylor and Donaldson, two corrupt souls find solace in a demented embrace at a roadside tuck stop. The initial victim; a prostitute whose body is seen as little more than a piece of meat ripe for dismemberment and consumption before the predators set their sights on police officer Jack Daniels. However, you could say, they bit off more than they could chew in underestimating Daniels’ survival instinct and hardened po...
Truck Stop is a straightforward serial killer yarn that doesn't introduce anything new to the genre, but nice introduction to Taylor, the digit-loving special ops character from Kilborn's Afraid. I think the "beware" and "not for the faint of heart" from the Amazon product description are a little over-the-top. The first chapter in Kilborn's Afraid should have these warnings, but not Truck Stop. Sal's and Maggie's death in the opening chapter of Afraid is one of the most well-written, terrifying...
Gory,bloody and rich in maniacal behaviors. This short story has taken horror to a new level.
Brill Short, but a brill read, worth a read and I'll definitely be getting some more books by J.A. Konrath in the future!
Interesting short readWill Jack get her toes bitten off and her face skinned? Can she escape from the sleeper in the semi get it tied up along with the tied up prostitute? Great lead into other stories. I don't know what makes J.A. Konrath tick but he does a great job. I haven't been disappointed with any of his books so far.
A novella about two serial killers and a homicide detective that all meet at a truck stop.
I stumbled on this in my usual unplanned way. I have been following the current dispute over ebook pricing and the battle now enjoined between Amazon, Apple, and the Big Six (minus 1). Konrath has a blog called A Newbies Guide to Publishing in which he documents his anti-DRM approach to digital publishing. It' worth a read. Anyway, he has brought out several of his backlist and short stories as inexpensive digital books and Truck Stop, really a short novella, was my first. It's a confrontation b...
Anything with Jack Daniels in it is worth checking out. This could definitely be a stand alone read but I think fans of the Jack Daniels series will appreciate it more.
Some very sick puppies featured here.
A woman traveling alone in the middle of nowhere being offended because no one cat called her at a truck stop is one of the most r/menWritingWomen bullshit I’ve seen in a while, lol.
3 StarsJack was definitely the star of this sh*t show. The so-called serial killers did not even creep me out, except in the way that the school loser creeps you out when he sizes you up.... *shudders*... You know the ones; mouth-breathers, nasally, weird creeps who like watching their sister undress.... those guys. Anyway, I can see that the Jack Daniels series will be entertaining.
When I downloaded this on Kindle, I did not realize it was a short story. Never the less, I enjoyed it as I normally do other JA Konrath reads. Definitely dark & a bit kinky.
Brilliant short story,there are parts of this book i think i will remember for a long time.My only gripe it was just a little too short i wanted more.
This is a short story so it is a really quick read. Twisted, suspenseful, and decent.
