Monkeewrench founders Grace McBride and Annie Belinsky, along with Deputy Sharon Mueller, are driving from Minneapolis to Green Bay, Wisconsin, where they believe a new serial killer is just warming up, when their car breaks down, deep in the northern woods, far away from civilization and cell towers. A walk through the forest leads them to the crossroads town of Four Corners, where they had hoped to find a landline and a mechanic, but instead find...absolutely nothing. Something terrible has happened in Four Corners, and the complete absence of life and severed phone lines in every building make it impossible to get help. Grace, her senses honed by a lifetime of justifiable paranoia, sees the sinister in every detail, and her intuition barely saves all three of them when they witness a horrifying double murder. Grace, Annie, and Sharon are suddenly running for their lives, while the rest of the Monkeewrench crew, along with Minneapolis cops Leo Magozzi and Gino Rolseth, strike out on a blind search to find them.… (altro)

Holy smokes that was sooooo good! It was literally unputdownable. I love the characters so much and they all shone in this third installment. The 'case' was really engaging and a bit terrifying. Waiting impatiently for book 4 to be returned to the library. No pressure whoever your are...okay...a small amount of pressure. Said with love. ( )

Another solid entry in the Monkeewrench series. This one had a different feel than the first two, more of a survival/race against the clock kind of thing, but it was still twisty and good. I liked seeing Grace, Sharon, and Annie working as a team and dealing with what they were going through based on their own separate experiences. Seeing the boys racing to the rescue while the girls were busy saving themselves was great. My affection for all of these characters grows with every book. I hope we continue to see more of Mike, Bonar, and Sharon in future books. I loved Mike’s proposal and then his response when Sharon pointed out they hadn’t been on a date yet. “We can do that first, if you want.”
My only complaint this time around is the death of Deputy Lee. It just felt like revenge on the mansplainers of the world. I really wanted his poor wife not to lose her husband.

Looking forward to continuing with the series. ( )

I enjoyed this book at least as much as the previous books in the series. To me, it seems a bit less serious but still exciting with a race against time to save a lot of unknown people for an unknown fate by some unknown group. With a plot like that, you need some humor to hide the fact that it's a bit crazy. But unlike certain reviewers that I have a lot of respect for, I didn't feel it was incredulous or implausible. For one thing, the whole Monkeewrench group is pretty unpredictable and implausible, so if you can believe in things like a rich biker programmer, a very large but sexy woman, a small sexy woman who carries at least one gun everywhere, even under her pajamas, and oh yeah, a 6'8" programmer who wears lycra bicycling clothes everywhere, who drive around in a huge, high-tech mobile home, well... pretty much anything goes with a group like that.

I liked it enough to go right on into the next book in the series, before I forget the names of the players. It might not be great fiction, but it's highly entertaining. ( )

The third book in the excellent Monkeewrench series by mother/daughter writing team, P. J. Tracy, is entitled Dead Run. Dealing with domestic terrorism and counting down to a horrendous outcome, the four misfit partners of the crime-gaming firm of Monkeewrench have stumbled into a very dangerous situation.

Grace and Annie, along with sheriff's deputy, Sharon Mueller embark on a road trip from Minneapolis to Green Bay, Wisconsin. They decide to take the scenic route and so are a long way from civilization when their car breaks down. They walk into a small hamlet entitled Four Corners, only to find the village entirely empty, they are soon trapped in the town and being hunted by an armed group clothed in camouflage and carrying automatic weapons. Meanwhile as their Monkeewrench counterparts are becoming more and more worried about where the women could be and why they haven’t arrived at their destination. When Detective Leo Magozzi and Sheriff Mike Halloran also become concerned, they all jump in the Monkeewrench bus and head out to Northern Wisconsin to locate the women.

This was a thriller that grabs you from the get-go and keeps you turning pages in order to discover what is going to happen next. The women have a certain attitude and some amazing survival skills that come into play, and their male counterparts have the computers and the programming knowledge to hopefully be able to shut down the terrorists if they can find them. Add a paranoid FBI and a ticking clock into the mix and you have a thriller that really delivers. With their strong story lines and well developed characters I can’t wait to see what this talented author gives us next. ( )

This is the third in the series that started with Monkeewrench. (Each stands alone, nicely, too, by the way.) Grace and Annie (founders of the company that makes crime profiling software) head out for Green Bay with their FBI pal, Sharon, to help find a serial murderer there. But on the way... Their car breaks down just outside Four Corners, Wisconsin - a lovely, sleepy little down. Maybe a little too sleepy. The signs of people - a working dinner and shops and homes and cars - but there are no people. There are no animals. What in the world happened to this town? And it starts getting even stranger faster. This author is really two people and they are great story tellers. These books are all guaranteed to entrap! ( )
