About this listen

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Want to Play? by P. J. Tracy, read by Sarah Borges.

In this electrifying debut, the slaying of an old couple in small town America looks like one-off act of brutal retribution. But at the same time, in Minneapolis, teams of detectives scramble to stop a sickeningly inventive serial killer striking again in a city paralysed by fear.

When the two separate investigations converge on an isolated catholic boarding school, decades old secrets begin to fall away. It seems an old killer has resurfaced. Yet still the killer's real identity remains dangerously out of reach ...

Excellent first of a brilliant series. Having read the original a few years ago I decided that it was time to re-read them and as I have problems holding a book audible was the answer. The narrator is perfect for the series a male voice would not
have held one's attention like Ms Borges.
Well worth the listen

I read this series years ago and have been delighted to see them released on Audible. Good characters, well rounded, and an excellent story, I had forgotten the twists so was still taken by surprise.

Very good story

Having read this book ( and the rest in the series) many years ago I was delighted to see it on Audible.

I have to say, I enjoyed it as much now as I did on first reading it.

An interesting story of murder, set around a group of computer geeks with a hidden history.

A good read

Still a Good story on revisiting

I first read the paperback version of this many years ago and was blown away by the brilliantly conceived story.
listening to the audiiobook edition has elevated the story due to the amazing narration.

Brilliant Thriller

I'm biased because I have always loved these books, which have intriguing plots and likeable main characters ... the inter-character banter is occasionally a bit naff but, overall, this is a wonderful series available as audiobooks at last and with an excellent, unobtrusive narrator ... Want to Play is an engrossing stand-alone whodunnit but also provides background information about the regular characters and sets the scene for the books that follow ...

The first of an excellent series of audiobooks

Excellent book with excellent narration. the story never gave gives you any time to breath it’s action all the way.

Excellent

I read the Monkeewrench novels when they first came out, and I remembered enjoying them but nothing much else. Listening to this, the first, was no disappointment. Alright, the technology is dated, but the story moves along well and the characters- especially the cops - are well drawn and sympathetic where they need to be. I love the banter between the cops, especially. Just before ending this one, I ordered the 2nd in the series. And the narrator does an excellent job.

An old favourite still very enjoyable
