The Monkey House

Written by John Fullerton

Narrated by J. Charles

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...

Reviews for The Monkey House

[wyvernfriend · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

In a city where murder by sniper is an everyday experience, a woman in a bathtub is a bit of an anomaly. This story focuses on a police chief, his complicated background and what he has to do to survive in this city of tensions and hostility. It's an interesting look at a recent historical mess that is still causing ripples. There was a little bit too much of the issues that the author was trying to highlight rather than story and overall it didn't quite work. Interesting but not quite my cup of tea.
