Dead Run by P.J. Tracy My rating: 4 of 5 stars I love the Monkeewrench series. Usually I read them, but I decided to do an audiobook this time. I'm glad I did - the narration was great!

I love how the Monkeewrench crew is starting to expand with some outside characters that are adding more to the overall sense of who the people really are. The fact that most of the story takes place in Wisconsin is different from the others which focused on the main location of Minneapolis. It is a very good book and a series that I will see through to the end. If you love intrigue, suspense, and technology you'll love the Monkeewrench series! View all my reviews

When I got done I sometimes replayed (in my head) some of h...
