Monkeewrench, finished 8/7/08

I just found these books at the library, and like quite a few that I find, I was initially drawn in by the bright colors and the artwork on the book cover. I mean check this one out - wouldn't you be interested?

I loved it! Only one complaint was how many characters are introduced in this first book. At first I was getting aggravated because the chapters are so short that I wasn't getting to know them well enough but luckily each character is back in subsequent books and you continue to get to know them. It's mainly a bad guy/good guy mystery type (no big surprise there, my favorite). The storyline was awesome too.

Imagine building a intriguing mystery game that basically revolves around solving murders. Only problem is someone "inside" is recreating these murders in real life and it takes until about four murders before the police get the real story from the Monkeewrench crew and then they have to work together to solve it. The book is fast paced and keeps you guessing. A very good read! I give this one ****'s.

Here's the info on Wikipedia from this book and here's more info on the mother/daughter writing team that is P.J. Tracy.
