Monkeewrench by P. J. Tracy

Monkeewrench (Monkeewrench, #1)

by P. J. Tracy

People are dying for the new computer game by the software company Monkeewrench. Literally. With Serial Killer Detective out in limited release, the real-life murders of a jogger and a young woman have already mimicked the first two scenarios in the game.

But Grace McBride and her eccentric Monkeewrench partners are caught in a vise. If they tell the Minneapolis police of the link between their game and the murders, they'll shine a spotlight on the past they thought they had erased-and the horror they thought they'd left behind. If they don't, eighteen more people will die...

I bought this book awhile back but I kept postponing it for no real good reason. I was quickly motivated to (finally) pick this book up from my bookshelf and began reading it because I won the second book, "Live Bait" in a Goodreads giveaway. I was definitely not disappointed.
My bottom line: I really enjoyed this book!! It kept my interest throughout the book (even during some of the slower parts) and I liked the mystery of the characters as well as the final twist in the end. Clues were dropped here and there, but not too much, not too little, and the "behind the scenes" with the detectives was a great addition to this already mysterious story. The plot felt realistic and the characters felt human and likable.
I can't believe I postponed this book for so long. It sparked a sense of excitement to the very end. If the second book is just as good as this one, then this talented mother/daughter team just earned another fan of followers.
