Book 2 in the Monkeewrench series brings us back to Minneapolis and Detectives Magozzi and Rolseth. This time, an elderly man, a man who everyone in town loved, is murdered in his greenhouse. Soon there's a disturbing pattern to the murders: someone is killing elderly Jewish concentration camp survivors. And the questions grow beyond who? to why?
I wasn't sure who would return from the original Monkeewrench book and my question was answered with "just about everyone": Detective Magozzi, Gino, Grace, Harley, Roadrunner and Annie - plus all the other cops we met in "Monkeewrench". As Magozzi and Gino struggle to figure out who would be killing the elderly Jews in their community, they enlist Grace's help with a new computer system she and her crew have developed and soon find out that their murders go beyond their community,
Beyond the usual "who done it?" questions in a murder, I feel like this also asked a bigger question: "where must revenge stop?" The murder victims have secrets of their own, which as the detectives uncover them, lead them down a road they never thought they'd travel.
This series is shaping up to be very good and I look forward to reading more. As soon as I find a library, that is.
