Obsessions

By Marshall Cook

Book Overview

Monona Quinn and her husband Doug are taking a relaxing vacation in the northwoods of Wisconsin. Mo's enrolled in a writing workshop, and Doug's resolved to learn to fish. Naturally, it's the perfect time to solve another murder...Pompous, self-important writer Fletcher Downs was supposed to be the writer-in-residence at the writing workshop; he was supposed to teach a classroom full of hopefuls how to write a great mystery--but he hadn't intended to teach by example. Now Fletcher's 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?

Customer Reviews

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!

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.
