Second in the Monkeewrench series. Not quite up to the suspense level set by the first book. It focuses more on the two Minneapolis detectives Magozzi and Rolseth, and not much time is spent with the Monkeewrench gang. It's been a quiet few weeks for the homicide detectives, no one is killing anyone else, but then an elderly nursery owner is found dead in his greenhouse. And then another senior citizen is killed, and another. I wasn't surprised by the murder motive. No doubt the author meant it to be obvious to the reader before it occurs to the detectives. I didn't guess the murderer, though. A nice fast read, more snappy dialogue, it's still a good story.
