I couldn’t resist a book called ‘The Candy Man’ which stars a character called Jack Daniels. I couldn’t say no and I’m glad.
Jack Daniels is a grouchy, seen-too-much kind of guy who still has a big, if somewhat battered, heart. I could hear him narrating as I read about him rescuing a damsel in distress, even when he knows he’s getting himself into trouble. And what a lot of trouble he gets into. It’s a classic tale with a modern day setting perfect for an easy read.
