Monkeewrench

Monkeewrench is a mystery/thriller by P.J. Tracy. It is a fast paced, suspenseful mystery that takes place in Minneapolis and a partially in a small town in Wisconsin. The novel is about a series of murders that takes place in the city that are based on a computer game. The homicide detectives assigned to the case have to work through a daunting list of suspects that include the employees of the company that designed the game.

The characters are likable. The book has enough character development in it to make it about more than just solving the murders. The plot is original and well thought through. There are twists and turns that have the reader wondering about the characters lives, not just about the "who done it" part of the mystery.

It is an enjoyable book that keeps the reader guessing until the last pages. The characters are ones that the reader wants to continue to follow, even after reading the last page. So, it's a good thing that there are other books centered around them (Live Bait & Dead Run). Can't wait to read those!

Happy Reading!
