3,75 starsThis was a relatively strange reading experience. The plot was okay (although I pegged the killer from the fist hundred pages), the characters were good, if a little eye-rolly, the details were on the silly side (some of it can be blamed on the outdatedness of the book, some might have jus...
Wow I didn't even realize this was the first book in the series. I really liked it and will definitely be continuing the series. Grace MacBride was a great character even with all her foibles but now that she can get past all the bad stuff it should be interesting to see where the series heads.I r...
4/5; 4 stars; A-This was a really well done thriller/mystery. I haven't read anything by this duo before so it was a good surprise. I really liked the complexity of the mystery and how the two story lines wove together. I am interested to read some more in this series.The one big glaring hole whi...

The setting for this book is northern rural Wisconsin and Minneapolis/ St. Paul, Minnesota. I happen to love this setting because I know it and in books set in locations that are in a ...
I loved this book in the beginning. I thought it was fast paced and somewhat twisted. At some point, the book slowed down really bad and crimes were just mentioned. Also, I thought the ending was predictable. Probably not a series I would continue.
Monkeewrench is a really good mystery with an amazing cast of characters. I think I liked everybody but Grace. The book didn't get 5 stars because I figured out the murderer from the beginning. :)The narrator was really good. At first I wasn't sure I was going to like him (he has a bit of a gravely ...
