Cold Kill: Monkeewrench 7 | P. J. Tracy
18 posts | 14 read | 2 to read
*US edition title: THE SIXTH IDEA* Cold Kill is the seventh book in P.J. Tracy's Monkeewrench series. Two dead bodies. On a cold winter's night in Minneapolis, two friends are brutally murdered on opposite sides of the city. It's clear to homicide detectives Gino and Magozzi that the men were targets - but why? A decades-old conspiracy. As Gino and Magozzi begin to uncover evidence, the clues rapidly start to disappear. Lost websites and missing CCTV footage lead them once more to Grace MacBride and her eccentric team of computer analysts - the only ones who can help. A deadly attack that could bring a city to its knees. But as more bodies appear, the team begin to realize that this isn't fresh blood - this is a case that stretches back sixty years. And something that has been lying dormant is now awakening. As Gino and Magozzi race to find answers, they slowly uncover an unimaginable horror: one that they must stop if any of them are to get out alive . . . PRAISE FOR P. J.

Police detectives Leo & Gino get involved in a case which leads back to an event in WW2. The Monkeewrebch team are split up in this book with Annie & Roadrunner only playing minor parts.

The plot is rather intriguing but I do feel a little irritated with the occasional occurrence of casual sexism that seems to pop up. Especially as the books are written by two women. Rating: 3 ⭐️

Pretty good story, able to stay engaged. My only real issue, and this is me nitpicking, is that it feels like the generic formula the mother/daughter duo have used in the past.

I've been a fan of the Monkeewrench novels since the beginning - so glad to get a new one! Another great mystery, mixing a mystery from the past with current-day murder. I recommend this whole series for anyone who likes quirky characters, technology, and crime solving in their novels. :-)

Closer to a pick then a so so but not as strong as the earlier Monkeewrench books. Still fun reading about the crew.

I waited years for these authors to write another Monkeewrench book. I was not disappointed.

I love reading about Minnesota winter during the summer, you know it's inevitable but it isn't here yet! SO glad the Monkeewrench gang is back! 100 pages in...so far so good. 😀

Does anyone else use the Aldiko reader on your Kindle and hate the small font??? Then when I enlarge the font, I can't turn the durn page. ARG!!!

ReadingOver50 I just downloaded it but haven't used it yet. Doesn't sound promising ☹️ 8y
Kappadeemom It's the only way to download certain books, so I deal with it but glad I don't have to use it all of the time! @ReadingOver50 8y

Didn't disappoint. Perhaps not as good as the first few books of the series...but so much better than your average mystery/thriller novel these days... ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My final count for #24in48 #readathon hey ho. Almost 18 hours of reading in two days? I'll take that! Especially since I've been slumpish for over 2 years now. I finally feel I'm getting back on my reading feet this year.

Varshitha 18hrs is great!! 👏🏻👏🏻 8y

The ARC that I got from Penguin was another wonderful addition to the Monkeewrench series. So I guess as another #Reccomendsday I pick the Monkeewrench series.

I just got this as an ARC from Penguin. I hope it is as good as the rest of the series.
