My only quarrel with it was that there simply wasn't enough of the Monkeewrench crew. Instead, this story focussed on Gino and Magozzi, 2 Minneapolis homicide detectives. Morey Gilbert, Holocost survivor, owner of the local nursery, and all round candidate for Sainthood (if he weren't Jewish) is found shot dead in front of his business by his wife Lily. The MPD is called in to solve the case. While they are working at trying to find a motive and a killer, more eldery Jews are found murdered. Who would want to kill these pillars of the community? I must say that the ending had a really big twist, which kept twisting to the very last page! A fun read!”

“This was 2nd in the series of Monkeewrench. Grace is beginning to be a bit more trusting and less fearful. Annie wears outfits that compete with Roadrunner. As usual the violence is horrific. Senior citizens as serial killers stretches the imagination a bit. ”

“The ladies are back and ready to hit you over the head with another Monkeewrench. The two ladies that have combined forces to write this series are truly a force to be reckoned with. A solid five stars on the second book in a series is something that is truly not as common as houseflies on a warm sunny window in the chill of fall. And do not think that for one minute that you are done with this until you are truly done. If you turn your back on this one thinking all has been solved before you read the last few pages this one will bite you on the fleshy part of your rear end. I said it in the review of the first in the series and I will say it again, these ladies must know some folks who work in law enforcement. It has been five plus years since I have taken off the badge and hung up my uniform however these books bring that back like sliding into a second skin. These officers are portrayed as real humans with faults and everything and not like some superhero that feels no pain and experiences no emotion. And yes the ladies will have the officers cracking bad jokes at inopportune times. This is an actual way that officers use to attempt to defuse and distance themselves from the crap that they have to deal with on a daily basis. And it is a part of reality that officers do make mistakes. Take Detective Langer. In the first book of the series he committed an error that haunted his very soul. In the second book he is still struggling with this and more. These ladies paint these emotions so well it is beautiful to watch it unfold on the page. The end of this one actually moved me in a very deeply emotional way. This may qualify as my longest review and I will now get off of my soapbox so you can go out and get this book and read it. If you have not already read the first in the series I believe this would be a very good step to take before tackling this one. Enjoy!”

“pensioners are being killed shot in the head, Detective Magozzi discovers what secrets they all share, the mother and daughter writers put a lot off humour into their books which makes it more interesting ”
