Monkeewrench - 04/29/2007

Just finished another book: Monkeewrench by P.J. Tracy (who are in fact two people, under one moniker). What a great thriller.

After all the heavy, depressing stuff I have read lately, it was great to read a book that was fun and fast-paced. It was a murder/mystery/thriller. The characters were well-written. You don't find out everything about them from the start. You get bits and pieces of them as you read, which makes you want to read more. I did not read it in a row but I think it took me less than 12 hours to read, over the course of 3 non-concurrent days. There's a serial killer, re-enacting scenes from a video game about a serial killer. The cops and the team from the video game company, Monkeewrench, are all trying to figure out who it is before the next murder takes place. But the Monkeewrench team are more than meets the eye. What is up with this group? Why are they so tight-knit? What's going on here?

You're going to have to read the book to find out.
