Jake Hancock P.I. #3
Detective Agency
This is an alternate title/cover edition for ASIN: B018COT3S0
Book three of the Jake Hancock Private Investigator series
Blaming his former employer for the kidnapping of his sister and nephew, smooth-talking private investigator Jake Hancock has quit working for the Agency.
But a mysterious chest complaint and a ghetto health insurance plan provided by his new employer force him to pick up where he left off—just when he thought he was out, they lure him back in with the promise of dental.
Fellow Agency private detective Cole Baxter is missing in action again, but this time for good. His bones have been found in an observation station’s septic tank, in Antarctica.
Hancock’s chosen as the man to unravel the mystery of what happened to him, and in Oslo, Norway, where he fits in like Santa Clause at a summer barbecue.
In order to clear up the mystery of his death, Hancock must seduce a Norwegian recruitment agent suspected of being behind it. The gig is simple, at least according to the Agency boss: “Bonk the secrets out of her.” That part’s child’s play.
But when Hancock learns the lethal details of the mystery, he wishes he hadn't…
Detective Agency is the third novel in a series of comedy thrillers featuring a private detective so cool, you shouldn't put your tongue anywhere near him.

“Served Ice Cold”, third in the 'Jake Hancock' series, doesn't take itself very seriously most of the time.
The story, which concerns the disappearance of another Agency agent, is mostly played for laughs as Jake, who is experiencing a dry patch in his sexual life, and worrying chest pains, finds himself in way over his head (which is absolutely nothing new for him).
It's funny enough but you need to be in the humour for Jake and, mostly, I wasn't.
3 Stars.

Read 1-3. Disappointed. The 3 stooges act and screwing anything that will stand still long enough gets old quick. I kept reading because #3 sounded really good but disappointed in it too. Goodbye Jake.

20% in, and I decided the quips, innuendos weren't holding my attention. With so many other good books to read on my Kindle, I decided not to force myself to read further.
