Monona Quinn and her husband, Doug, are taking a relaxing vacation in the northwoods of Wisconsin. Mos enrolled in a writing workshop, and Dougs resolved to learn to fish. Naturally, its the perfect time to solve another murder.
Pompous, self-important writer Fletcher Downs was supposed to be the writer-in-residence; he was supposed to teach a classroom full of hopefuls how to write a great mysterybut he hadnt intended to teach by example. Now Fletchers dead, and Mo (and the other students at the writing retreat) are faced with a real-life mystery. Who killed their teacher, and will the killer strike again?
Critic Reviews:
"Amiable Monona is every bit as nosy as a good cozy heroine should be." (Kirkus)
Members Reviews:
Hooray for Monona!
She,s back again and right in the thick of things. She is a 21st century grown up Nancy Drew but with everyday problems and pressures we all can relate to.I want to see and read more about her world of mystery and crime solving!
The Best Monona Quinn Yet!
I have thoroughly enjoyed all the Monona Quinn Mysteries but Marshall Cook has surely saved the very best for last with "Obsessions". The characters are exquisitely drawn, each one pulling you into his or her life so that you really do care how the course of events reveal themselves and the impact on each one of them. The small town life is depicted so accurately that I'm quite sure I've visited this town before. In fact, I think I may have relatives living there. Mo and Doug are so endearing. I'm ready to invite them over to my house for dinner, except, of course, that I'd run the risk of Mo finding yet another dead body. This book is the perfect read for your next extended airplane ride, a few days in the mountains, or an escape to the lounge chair on your back deck. Can't wait for the next installment in the Monona Quinn series.
Was this an exercise for a writers' workshop?
Set at a writers' workshop, this book feels like an exercise for the Writing a Mystery class. Except for the heroine, each character has a single defining characteristic, so the reader can remember who is who. To counterbalance the hackneyed setting, the descriptions employ offbeat verbs and adjectives. The persons involved are introduced serially, in isolation, clearly awaiting the Plot, when their individual stories will coalesce. Several characters, however, never do get integrated into the story; the back stories on some are unnecessarily lurid and on others are one-dimensional. A false trail is laid, and then abandoned, while the actual denouement arrives without sufficient groundwork to make it plausible. And why is the whole thing written in the present tense?
Murder in the North Woods
This book is an easy-to-read account of a murder mystery that takes place at a creative writing workshop in northern Wisconsin. The characters are well developed and the small town location is described to a "T". The author's sense of humor is evident throughout the book - very enjoyable!
