I've yet to read a book by Jack Kilborn (J.A. Konrath). What would be your place for me to start?

Afraid -- that was my first Jack Kilborn. It gave me cause to read three others; all of which I have enjoyed.

coachtim30-I hate to be a downer, but my reccomendation would be not to start. I read one that I got for free on my e-reader and thought it was awful. But to be fair, I read another just to see if it was an off day for the author. It was just as bad. There are absolutely no redeeming qualities to these stories. By the way, they aren't "books". I don't know if they even qualify as novellas. The ones I read are kind of long short stories. Really bad kind of long short stories. Sorry, but I felt I had to warn you.

#5 I found that a lot of the Serial series seems to be short stories, although if you buy Serial Killers Uncut it has all of those short stories together in the right order and it would work out cheaper (unless you happened to get them when they were free).
Not tried any of the Jack Daniels series.

#6 I appreciate the information, but I doubt I will delve any deeper into this series. They just didn't do it for me. But happy reading.

I'd recommend Trapped myself. Konrath is good at taking traditional scenarios and tropes of the horror genre and doing them his own twisted way.

I read Afraid a few years back - very disturbing. It was like the work of David Morrell only darker. I didn't know Jack Kilborn was also J.A. Konrath until I read this thread - so thanks for that info.
