From Publishers Weekly
A pair of gifted, award-winning readers make the audio version of Konrath's fourth mystery to feature Lt. Jack Daniels a rare, funny and very exciting listening experience. While Jack (short for Jacqueline) copes with problems in her private life, a really scary terrorist who calls himself the Chemist is literally holding the city of Chicago for ransom, demanding a huge payoff to stop injecting deadly toxins into food, drugs, even children's sandals. Many people have already died, and the Chemist seems to have something even more vicious in mind. Dick Hill catches the slightly edgy but never over-the-top killer perfectly, the kind of ordinary lunatic who might go unnoticed on the street. Susie Breck creates a perfect Jack Daniels by mixing wry wit, drink recipes and growing apprehension to capture just the right taste for mystery connoisseurs.

From AudioFile
Dick Hill and Susie Breck, real-life husband and wife, team up to narrate KonrathÕs fourth mystery featuring Lieutenant Jacqueline ÒJackÓ Daniels of the Chicago PD. A sociopath is growing toxins and planting them in the restaurants and grocery stores of Chicago. Breck is perfect reading the parts of the intelligent but frustrated Jack. Hill, usually a stellar narrator, is not at his best as he delivers the male parts, perhaps because of the saccharine sarcasm of the roles. Nevertheless, DIRTY MARTINI is a hard-to-forget adventure. After the conclusion, Konrath joins Breck and Hill in the studio for an entertaining interview. While Konrath is known for his wittiness, Dirty Martini has a dark tone that will leave the listener both shaken and stirred. S.E.S. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine--
