From the Amazon ALL-star Bestselling author Willow Rose

They take turns with the knife, cutting their thumbs open. A drop of blood lands on the dark wooden table. Eyes meet across the room. All four thumbs are pressed against each other one by one. Blood is shared, secrets buried.

Years later a brutal madman sprays bullets into a crowd at a movie theater in Miami and sends a chill through the entire nation. When human remains are discovered in the dense forest next to a biking trail in Brevard County, it is only the beginning of a series of gruesome murders, which will shock the entire Space Coast.

Detective Jack Ryder is preoccupied with Shannon King and the strange email she has just received that leaves her terrified just as she prepares to go on stage at the Runaway Country Festival. Jack Ryder senses the connection and soon he realizes he is on the hunt for a serial killer with a killing spree that spans over more than a decade.

˃˃˃ It’s spring break in Cocoa Beach and evil is lurking everywhere.

Slip out The Back Jack is the second novel in Willow Rose’s bestselling series about Jack Ryder, a devoted father and committed homicide detective.

4.0 out of 5 stars A complex plot with a deliciously twisty ending
Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2022

Willow Rose weaves a complex plot of murder, abuse, and vigilante justice. In the beginning, the seemingly unrelated story threads are hard to follow, but stick with them as Detective Jack Ryder works two murder cases and tries to protect his recent love interest, a pop singer of some renown. The family and interpersonal character stories are the best parts of the book as the disconnected plot threads slowly coalesce into coherence and lead to a deliciously twisty ending.

There are several small plot holes and leaps of logic in the main plot, but Rose manages to keep you interested and keeps the story moving along nicely. Some of the dialogue is a bit forced to get in the key bits of information, especially statements from small children and teens. The cops get information a bit too quickly and easily sometimes. And I had a hard time buying the actions and attitudes of one of the father characters. But I have a hard time getting into the heads of anyone who would abuse a kid, so maybe that was the point.

The gruesome story of men being force fed gobs of food until their stomachs explode is weirdly compelling, even when you can’t figure out what it has to do with anything else. The story of the young girl with a rare genetic eating disorder meshes together with the vigilante killings in the end. Stick it out and the ending is satisfying, if a bit hard to entirely reconcile.

There will be sequels and I will be interested. The prose here is clean with only a few typos and writing issues. It is a page turner for sure with short chapters. I read this book on a cruise and found it to be enjoyable vacation reading with just enough social justice issues to make you think a little. Nicely done!

Jack Ryder is an endearing character. He is a detective and an extraordinary Dad, taking on children not his own. He is adventurous and down to earth. Enjoy reading Willow Rose and being introduced to her interesting hero’s!

Another month in the life of Detective Jack Ryder. There are few men in the world like him. He's likeable, handsome, and a really good dad even if he does heavily depend on his mom and dad. Now he's getting ready to add two more children in addition to the three he has for his parents to take care of. Ms. Rose has a fairly good but not perfect editor. Those pesky little errors are still scattered around. They aren't enough to ruin the book though. It's another masterpiece and if you enjoy mysteries\thrillers, you will love this one.

I received a complimentary electronic copy of this mystery novel from Willow Rose. Thank you for sharing your hard work with me. I have read Slip Out the Back Jack of my own volition, and this review reflects my honest opinion of this work. I am always happy to slip a Willow Rose novel among the more weighty tomes available to me. She brings the world's focus back into the doings of the family with a touch of sass and a little sauce included.

In 'Slip Out the Back Jack' we are immersed in small-town life in Melbourne and Cocoa Beach, Florida, for the most part in 2015. There are flashbacks to 2003 and 2005 that set up the story. Shannon King is a local girl, a popular Country singer, set to do a concert in Melbourne with Blake Shelton, and Jack Ryder's daughter Emily is involved, though she won't tell Jack what she will be doing. Jack will also be working with security and also trying to trace an e-mail threat sent to Shannon. These emails echo the same threats she faced ten years ago, threats that she didn't turn over to the police, and which saw people dying at the concert venue. She can't let that happen again. She is hoping Jack can solve the mysterious threat without her youthful choices ruining her reputation in the music business. Jack is hoping he can solve the threat and keep both Shannon and his daughter Emily safe. But there are a LOT of people involved in this concert. And he can't be everywhere...

Great read. I am no good at reviews but right from the start with the cutting of thumbs the book took hold and I just had to finish it. Lots going on. The 'Angels' handed out their own form of justice which will continue on with a new recruit. I also like the fact that Jack and his parents (who are always willing to help out) really love children and now he has another on the way to add to his little brood. Highly recommend.

This book continues from where the first one finished. It continues at the same pace with new cases interwoven with the developing relationship between Jack and Shannon. At the end it leaves one case open which hopefully will be resolved in the third book of the series.
