- HIT THE ROAD JACK:

Ben is supposed to be in school. It's Monday morning but his parents are still asleep after a night of heavy drinking. Ben waits patiently, even though he knows he is missing out on today's field trip to the zoo. But, when his black Labrador suddenly runs upstairs and comes down with a finger in his mouth, Ben knows he's not making it to school today at all.

Detective Jack Ryder is chaperoning his kids' field trip when he gets the call from the head of the Cocoa Beach Police Department. A body has been found and they need his help. Soon, Jack finds himself up against a killer, a predator who ruthlessly chases women and kills them so they can never leave him. The case soon causes serious consequences for him and his family once the truth is revealed.

With her new hero, Jack Ryder, as a loving father and committed detective, a new location in tropical Florida, and a story that moves at an incredible pace, Hit the Road Jack is Willow Rose at the top of her game.

- SLIP OUT THE BACK JACK:

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.

Good but feels incomplete

Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2020

Verified Purchase

Volumes 1 & 2 of the Jack Ryder mysteries are good, but they lack real endings. The cases are pretty much solved but the books end leaving the stories themselves wide open and unfinished. Like they might continue on in the next book, but the next book is completely different characters (other than Jack, his family and girlfriend) and crimes. I was confused when I started the 2nd book. Don't get me wrong, the writing is excellent and the world/character building are great, I just thought the endings were unfinished. I love Willow Rose's writing and will absolutely read more of her books. These two could definitely be stand alone books, as they cover different people and crimes, just with the same "hero" and his family.
As for Jack himself, he's a laid back surfer, hard working homicide detective, loving single father to his twins and his late partner's teenage daughter, a loving son to his parents, and loving boyfriend. He and his family live in Cocoa Beach, Florida, which sounds like a wonderful place, minus the bugs and humidity.

A fast paced story about crime and punishment. A serial killer who uses different disguises to accomplish his crimes of murder.

These were two good stories. What surprised me was, they were not the usual creepy good stories that Willow Rose writes. The character of Jack was enjoyable and loved his children’s characters.

Intense, gripping, on the edge of your seat thrillers

Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2017

Verified Purchase

'The Jack Ryder Mystery Series: Vol. 1-2' was a great start to what is looking like an awesome series. 'Hit the Road Jack' and 'Slip Out the Back Jack' were both intense, gripping thrillers that left me wanting more. Jack is a great lead. He's an awesome single dad, a great detective and has his work cut out for him when it comes to his job and his family. I truly enjoy his outlook on life. Being from Florida myself, I can completely understand his viewpoint on how the beach has a way of calling out to me. This series is a great add to your tbr list. Recommended read.

Interesting and fact-based

Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2020

Verified Purchase

These are the first two books in the Jack Ryder series. They are fast-paced and action-filled. I don’t find this series as exciting nor the characters as captivating as some other of Ms. Rose’s series, yet the stories are interesting and fact-based. This is a good introduction to the series for mystery lovers.

Murder at it's best. With lots of suspects twists and turns. Characters you love and those you loath. Hoping it's the one you loath that is guilty. Never sure til the end who really do IT.

Mystery meets love

Reviewed in Italy on September 10, 2021

Verified Purchase

I found Jack to be real and believable as a character. He's a complicated, good guy that believes in being responsable and doing his job to the best of his ability! He also loves his time off, surfing and playing with his kids. He helps his parents and depends on them a lot in helping him with his children! Shannon on the other hand I didn't like as Jack's love interest. She's of dubious integrity, has a hidden past and some difficult problems to overcome! I didnt feel as if she was a well developed or likeable character. I got the third book only because I didn't have to buy it! Hoping it's better than the last two!

No way could these two books be left until very last word had been read. Many twists and turns, suspense non stop, never knowing what to expect next. Completely unpredictable. I am well and truly hooked on Willow Rose books.
