The Sixth Idea
The Sixth Idea | P. J. Tracy
18 posts | 14 read | 2 to read
The Monkeewrench crew returns in a twisty, heart-stopping new thriller. The peaceful Christmas season in Minneapolis is shattered when two friends, Chuck Spencer and Wally Luntz, scheduled to meet in person for the first time, are murdered on the same night, two hours and several miles apart, dramatically concluding winter vacation for homicide detectives Leo Magozzi and Gino Rolseth. An hour north of Minneapolis, Lydia Ascher comes home to find two dead men in her basement. When Leo and Gino discover her connection to their current cases, they suspect that she is a target, too. The same day, an elderly, terminally ill man is kidnapped from his home, an Alzheimer's patient goes missing from his care facility, and a baffling link among all the crimes emerges. This series of inexplicable events sends the detectives sixty years into the past to search for answers--and straight to Grace MacBride's Monkeewrench, a group of eccentric computer geniuses who devote their time and resources to helping the cops solve the unsolvable. What they find is an unimaginable horror--a dormant Armageddon that might be activated at any moment unless Grace and her partners Annie, Roadrunner, and Harley Davidson, along with Leo and Gino, can find a way to stop it.

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.
