Live Bait (Monkeewrench, #2) (Twin Cities Thriller)

by P. J. Tracy

Live Bait is the second book in P.J. Tracy's bestselling Twin Cities series.

When elderly Morey Gilbert is found, lying dead in the grass by his wife, Lily, it's a tragedy, but it shouldn't have been a shock - old people die. But when she finds a bullet hole in his skull, the blood washed away by heavy rain, sadness turns to fear. It looks like an execution...

Soon a whole city is fearful as new victims are found, killed with the same cold precision. All elderly. All apparently blameless.

Detectives Gino and Magozzi, race to uncover a connection and their best hope of doing so may be Grace McBride, beautiful, damaged survivor of an earlier killing spree. And the answers, it seems, are buried in a terrible past.

Grace MacBride and Detectives Gino and Magozzi are back in P.J. Tracy's Live Bait, the follow-up to debut Want to Play? Fans of Karen Rose should be paying attention. Follow the characters' journeys in the rest of the series: Want to Play?, Dead Run, Snow Blind, Play to Kill and Two Evils.

Reviews

I was excited to win this from a First Reads Giveaway and it sure was a pleasant read.
I loved this book! It's witty, suspenseful and tasteful. The characters seem to pop out of the pages and the plot was intriguing. The whole book seemed fresh and lively, and of course, the ending is fantastic. Can't wait to find more of these books!

Live Bait was pretty good, but it was not as good as Monkeewrench. Detectives are trying to figure out who is killing the elderly in the same neighborhood. I have to say that I was surprised by some of the twists and turns. It was an entertaining read and I came to care about the characters in the book.
