You know how sometimes you read a book that is so good, when you're done with it you want to run up to the nearest person, put it in their hands, and insist that they read it? Found one!
It's called Monkeewrench, by PJ Tracy (who is actually a mother/daughter writing team). It's about a series of murders mimicking a computer game where you play detective and track a serial killer. I don't read a lot of murder mysteries, mostly because the plots don't catch my attention very often, but I'm glad I tried this one. It's really well written, with a ton of stuff going on but not getting you lost, and good distinctive characters. I was reading it at the laundromat today and I could not stay entirely quiet doing so.
I sadly cannot actually put it in your hands, but Amazon's got some wicked cheap used copies for sale, so spend four bucks and give it a try. It's the first in a series, too, so there's more once you're done (one other book, which I am going to start shortly, and a third is coming out in April that sounds dynamite, and I can't remember the last time I used that word in a sentence).
Okay, I have to go do moving crap, and I sort of lost track of details like calling Time Warner to get my Internet service moved, so once I've moved tomorrow I may be gone for a couple days. Then again, I might not, since there's a stray wireless connection wandering through this apartment. I'm only moving upstairs, so I might be able to hijack it from there, too. We'll see.
