We love books! We love Minnesota!
You put those two great things together and you get some great results! (No, sorry – not a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, for all of you old enough to remember thrilling vintage 80s commercials.) We are gifted with a huge range of books set here in the Land of 10,000 Lakes. And CMLE wants to help you explore both books and Minnesota!
Our first book is the first in a series: Monkeewrench. The books are written by a mother/daughter team, under the name P.J. Tracy. These books are set mainly in Minneapolis, but of course adventure takes them elsewhere, as happens in mystery stories. “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…”
Once you read this tangled tale of the Monkeewrench crew, you will need to go on with the rest of the series:
