Description
Reasonably comfortable with his possession of wealth, Monk moseys through his days taking care of his grandkids. After a car accident takes out his beloved Falcon and leaves him injured, he begins to see that many of the people around him are on edge. His wife, Agnes, no longer has a job and is working through parental issues with her father.
Meanwhile, a book given to him in jest, may in fact be a primer for the disaffected rich to move the country away from democracy to autocracy by whatever means, including violence. Monk thinks this is silly until people connected to the book start dying. Foolishly drawn into this scheme, along with Agnes' sudden interest in sleuthing, Monk finds that they are now targets themselves, and decide to play along to learn more, even if it leads them to their possible demise.

this book was a great entry in the Monk Buttman Mystery series, it had what I was looking for in a mystery novel. I was hooked from the first page and it didn't let go until the end. The story was what I was hoping for and really enjoyed going through this. The characters were interesting and I loved that Monk was a grandfather and still solving mysteries. I enjoyed the way David William Pearce wrote this and was excited to read more from him.
"It’s a death wish, isn’t?” I countered. I wasn’t convinced the plan had any reason to be successful; it was us playing detective and foiling the bad guys even though we weren’t sure who the bad guys were."
