Shoot to Thrill” by P.J. Tracy (2010)


(P.J. Tracy is the mother-daughter writing team of Patricia J. and Traci Lambrecht)

Review #105

A Monkey Wrench Gang Thriller

Special agent John Smith of the FBI's cyber crimes unit seeks the help of cyber sleuths, Grace MacBride, Annie Belinsky, and their geeky associates as well as Minneapolis, Minn., homicide detectives, Leo Magozzi and Gino Rolseth, in solving a horrifying string of murders filmed for the Web. The Monkeewrench team must create a program that can separate staged death scenes from the real thing.

The first death they scrutinize appears to be the drowning murder of a Minneapolis drag queen. A stabbing, two shootings and a strangulation are among subsequent killings that occur in other cities across the country. They catch a break when the eighth victim, a Medford, Ore., waitress, survives a stabbing.

No one will have trouble getting into the story and everyone will appreciate the likable characters.

P.J. Tracy rocks!
