The Monitor

Rating:
Summary: Another fun mystery!
Review: In The Monitor, Ms. McDonald again brings us Randy Craig in a story involving chat rooms, cybercrime police, and life online. As one who has been a denizen of several online communities as well as having worked as a moderator, the details of the story ring true and make it easy to become immersed in the story as Randy tries to deal with the probablity that someone she "knows" is a a killer. Fun, fast and an overall good read!

Summary: Witty Romp through Edmonton
Review: Ok, so I'm a mystery wimp. I don't like a lot of violence. (...) I want a good story, in an interesting place, with characters who have enough depth that not only do I care what happens to them, I want to know more about them.

Janice MacDonald delivers all that in a whodunit with enough twists and turns to keep you wondering right up until the end just how it's all going to turn out. In the meantime, it's fun to run around Edmonton with Randy Craig, whose friends I'd kinda like to have for my own, and whose enemies I'm genuinely glad I don't have to deal with!
