I was issued this book by NetGalley for my unbiased review.

It had been a long time since I read a "Monkeewrench" book. It took a moment, but a lot of memories came back about the crew. This was a very good story with plenty of twists and turns. Just like I remembered! It has given me the idea to go back and reread some of the other books.

A decade or more ago the Monkeewrench series was one of my favorite mystery/thriller series. I recently re-read four or five books from the first part of the series and they held up fairly well. This latest title though, oof. Most of it follows up on the events that took place in the previous title, Ice Cold Heart, which I read when it was first published six years ago. Hundreds of books later, I don't remember the events of that book and so what transpired in this book lacked punch. Because the two titles are so closely tied together, I do not recommend reading this one without having read the previous book.

The story in this new title is not a mystery, as much of the action is from the perspective of the antagonists. Two potential romantic pairings were hinted at, which was weird for this series, and the characters seemed less fleshed out than in other Monkeewrench books. I think it may be time to leave Monkeewrench alone. Recommended for series completionists only.

*Thank you to NetGalley for the advance review copy.

I honestly had a hard time getting into this book. There was too much going on at once. The story line was muddled and didn't flow very well.

Welcome back to the Monkeewrench gang including Gino and Magozzi.

How I have missed you all.

The book draws you in slowly but surely then doesnt let go until the final chapter is over.

Wolfgang Mauer has escaped from maxium security and leaves a trail of bodies in his wake.

Revenge is high on Mauer's list and he must be stopped at all cost.

The tension mounts with every page and the gang is hard at work desperatley trying to find and capture Mauer.

P.J. Tracy once again takes the reader on a roller coaster of a ride and I really hated the book to end.

Highly recommend any book by P.J. Tracy and The Deepest Cut is no exception.

Cant wait to add The Deepest Cut hard copy to my collection.

Thanks to NetGalley and Crooked Lane Books for the privilege of reading and reviewing one of my favourite series.

The return of the Monkeewrench cyber sleuth team and Detectives Mogozzi & Rolseth working together to find an escaped serial killer who is hell bent on extracting his revenge on them all for his imprisonment and the death of his ‘father’. This is a well established series where each book is well written and offers a fast paced and exciting read. The characters are interesting and information on their personal histories and current relationships have been very well developed throughout this series.
This book provides plenty of action and suspense . This could be read as a stand alone but as the villains featured in the previous book I would recommend that Ice Cold Heart be read as well as this book. I have purchased and read the entire series over the years and have enjoyed the plots, the interesting quirky and complex characters and how the storylines and relationships have developed. Reading this book has made me want to re read the whole series. I recommend this series and this book to those who like fast paced crime thrillers.with interesting and likeable main characters.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC copy.

Loved being back with Magozzi, Rolseth and Monkeewrench again. I have loved this series from the very beginning and this one was great like the rest.
Only wish it had been a bit longer and had a bit more of a bang to it.
But I Can't wait to see what the crew get upto in the next one.

It's great to have another book in the Monkeewrench series, to reunite with well loved characters.

This picks up from the last book, with a dangerous criminal they had put in prison escaping and seeking revenge.

I enjoyed the story but it wasn't quite as good as some of the other books in the series hence the 4 star rating instead of 5.

Finally a new book in this series with its excellent characters! The plot is very interesting with a story that follows several characters, but it's still very easy to read. The writing is very good, but maybe a little too much with the descriptions of characters that are not very important.

The Monkeewrench series has done it again. This was a suspenseful read with amazing characters that kept me hooked from the beginning.

There Back!!

Monkeewrench and LEO MAGOZZI are on a new case with an old enemy and the game is on.

“Wolfgang Mauer busted out of Gustavus,” he said without preamble.

I was a little worried about how this one would turn out but there was nothing at all to worry about. It was just like old times. Lots of character interaction with danger around every corner. The whole gang was back in their amazing glory. This series is one of my all time favorites and I really hope there are many more installments to look forward to.

I have enjoyed the Monkeewrench series from the first story. I will soon begin a second reading. The characters are wonderfully quirky and lovable. I hope the series continues for many more books.

I received a copy of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley.

This is something of a sequel to the tenth book in this series (about which I remembered nothing). There is no real mystery here because there are sections from the perspectives of the bad guys so the reader always knows what they are up to. Still, it moved at a good pace and was well-plotted. An unacceptably humorous treatment of drunk driving troubled me and the rather sentimental romantic pairing off of all the main protagonists made me wonder if this series is coming to an end...

I would recommend (re-)reading book 10 before tackling this one for best enjoyment.

I really enjoyed the latest book in P.J. Tracy’s Monkeywrench series’s. At one time I was holding my breath because of the suspense! The characters are all so likable too! Thank you for letting me preview this great story!

Thank you, Crooked Lane Books for providing the copy of The Deepest Cut by P.J. Tracy. I have been waiting for a new Monkeewrench installment for years and it was like seeing old friends again. It took me a while to get into the story, maybe because Gino, Magozzi, and the Monkeewrench crew didn’t show up until well into the book and I was anticipating being reunited with them! Once I got engaged with the story though, I really enjoyed it, even with the large cast of characters and so much going on. It felt like the story was less important than giving our main characters a fitting ending. Does this mean it’s the last Monkeewrench novel? I hope not. 3.5 stars rounded up to 4.

Welcome back one of my favorite series. I’ve missed you and the Monkeewrench gang of computer geniuses.

Another winner with a cast of characters I would love to be a part of and a storyline that will keep you reading long into the night. Enough thrills, chills and surprises to keep the reader coming back for more. I look forward to the next one. Please don’t let it be so long.

Highly recommended!

Monkeewrench team has growing pains as life changes their paths and no one wants to adjust! In the meanwhile a psychotic mental patient escapes for revenge and wreaks havoc as the team along with police race to nab him before he kills again. Always a fun and exciting read!

I'm so happy to have the Monkeewrench (and Gino and Magozzi) gang back!

Leo Magozzi and Gino Rolseth, along with their tech-savvy partners Monkeewrench, took down sadistic killer Wolfgang Mauer. Locked away in a maximum security mental hospital, Mauer quietly plots his escape. When he breaks free, leaving a trail of bodies in his wake and kidnapping a young boy (poor Travis!), small-town sheriff Iris Rikker is thrust into a deadly manhunt. With Travis's life hanging in the balance, Magozzi who was literally set to retire, Gino, Rikker and Monkeewrench race to stop Mauer before he exacts his revenge on the team that put him away.

This was slow and steady and whilst there weren't any twists and turns it was suspenseful with everything leading to a final showdown. Although I do which there had been more to the confrontation- it was more lacking than I'd hoped.

The characters in this series have always been outstanding - Annie, Gino, Roadrunner and Harley Davidson, as well as wider supporting characters - and this was no different. But my favourites have always been Grace and Leo and I loved seeing how they've progressed. And honestly, my heart was bleeding for poor little Travis.

There are so many returning characters and plot lines - and it's been a while since I read the previous books - I wish I'd done a re-read before picking this up. If you have time for a refresher before reading this, I'd definitely recommend it. I still thorough enjoyed it though so absolutely fine to read as a standalone/without.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Monkeewrench is back! Our favorite white hat hackers team up again with homicide detectives Leo and Gino. Leo thinks the biggest problem will have on his last day of work will be avoiding whatever screwed up torment Gino has planned. Oh, he's so wrong! It's great to re-visit the old gang in this latest from PJ Tracy.

So excited to see a Monkeewrench novel! It’s been a while and I had forgotten how much I enjoy these stories. This book was great, I loved getting to know the characters all over again. Wolfgang Mauer escapes a maximum security prison, kills several people in the process and kidnaps a young boy. He is hell bent on getting revenge of the police and Monkeewrench for locking him up. This is a thrilling read as Wolfie goes on the run and is in hiding plotting his revenge. Can he be stopped before and more lives are lost? Highly recommend this book, it was an excellent read, I really enjoyed it.
