Minneapolis detectives Leo Magozzi and Gino Rolseth are bored - ever since they solved the Monkeewrench case, the Twin Cities have been in a murder-free dry spell, as people no longer seem interested in killing one another. But with two brutal homicides taking place in one awful night, the crime drought ends - not with a trickle, but with an eventual torrent. Who would kill Morey Gilbert, a man without an enemy, a man who might as well have been a saint? His tiny, cranky little wife, Lily, is no help, and may even be a suspect; his estranged son, Jack, an infamous ambulance-chasing lawyer, has his own enemies; and his son-in-law, former cop Marty Pullman, is so depressed over his wife's death a year ago that he's ready to kill himself, but not Morey. The number of victims - all elderly - grows, and the city is fearful once again." The detectives' investigation threatens to uncover a series of horrendous secrets, some buried within the heart of the police department itself, blurring the lines between heroes and villains. Grace MacBride's cold-case-solving software may find the missing link - but at a terrible price.… (más)

Not quite as gripping as book one but I love the characters so still enjoyed this second installment. I thought it was a reasonably good whodunnit with some gruesome murders for our detective team to investigate. I went straight onto book 3!

It took me a while to get back to this series after reading the first book earlier this year, but I’m glad I checked out the next one. So twisty! Pretty heartrending too. I liked the first book, but this one was better. I really love Gino and Leo. The Monkeewrench gang wasn’t in it that much, but Grace still played a key role. So far, I like the cops more than the hackers in the series, so I didn’t mind they weren’t in it as much.
I enjoy the fast pace and humor of this series, and I’m looking forward to reading more. ( )

Things I liked:
- Magozzi and Roselth's dynamic and banter
- Marty's character
- The pacing of the book
- How, despite being ridiculous, this still managed to hit me in the feels in the part you'd expect it to, if you've read this

Things I didn't like:
- Most of the Monkeewrench characters (the only one who even remotely resembles a real person is Grace)
- How dated this is on the technical front
- The plot, which is completely ludicrous

This book panders to a lot of stereotypes, and most of the characters are nothing but caricatures. The writers also rely heavily on telling you something without showing any real evidence to back their words up.

At first I was going to give this 2,5-3 stars, but I had to hike it up to 3,5 stars after it made me cry. ( )

I'm really enjoying this series, and look forward to reading more. This one had a good mixture of humor, sadness, and philosophy. I felt there were some things to really make us think or rethink our attitudes about revenge, whether someone deserves to die, etc. I can't say much about it without a spoiler, but it really shows how killing someone, even if that person seems to deserve it, can have repercussions that destroy people and families over many years and across many miles. It's sad to see.

The people are all very interesting and multi-faceted. I almost feel like some of them are family already, and I find myself caring about what they do and how things turn out. Fortunately, there's more to come, but I already feel I need to slow down so I won't run out of books in the series too soon. ( )

This author (who is really two authors writing as one) does it again. The same two Minneapolis cops, Leo and Gino, are back and this time puzzled by the violent deaths of two elderly people who lived near each other but didn't know each other. And then a guy is found tied to the railroad tracks - found after the train had been by. What is going on? Like the first novel, Monkeewrench, Live Bait is a very very good read. ( )
