Take the Monkeys and Run by Karen Cantwell Book Summary

Film lover Barbara Marr is a typical suburban mom living the typical suburban life in her sleepy little town of Rustic Woods. Typical that is, until she sets out to find the missing link between a bizarre monkey sighting in her yard and the bone chilling middle-of-the-night fright fest at the strangely vacant house next door. When Barb talks her two friends into some seemingly innocent Charlie's Angels-like sleuthing, they stumble upon way more than they bargained for and uncover a piece of neighborhood history that certain people would kill to keep on the cutting room floor

"This fun if light novel's quippy, hilarious character, Barbara Marr, has so much warmth and genuine gumption, you'd certainly want her on your criminal investigative team." - Publishers Weekly

Take the Monkeys and Run!. Great catchy title and hilarious mystery story! Love the writing style-super entertaining! Very light hearted and enjoyable. Fun characters. Look forward to reading more in this series!

Take the Monkeys and Run. Fun and intriguing, a good read. First book I've read from Karen Caldwell, but will definitely download another.

Great Book. This is an original and entertaining mystery. Couldn’t put it down,

What’s not to love about this book?!. Loved the adventure, the plot twists and the crazy antics of the characters in this book. Loved the movie references laced through out this story line and I will definitely be reading more from this author! Thank You💗

Great Book!. I thought the book was very funny, I am a huge fan of these books but by far this is my favorite! Amazing Book!!

Take the Monkeys and Run. I loved it. I really like Merr, she was funny and acted like anybody who found out their spouse was lying about everything. I really like books that are entertaining and doesn’t have to have love scenes or poor language. I suppose the characters could actually act like that. I really like it and I want to read another.

A fun read!. I really enjoyed this book! It was fast paced, the characters were well described, and the adventure was often kind of zany. The authors' style of writing reminds me a bit of Carl Hiaasen's writing.

Take the monkeys…. Very entertaining and funny. Good character development of main character, Barbara Marr. Would recommend to anyone wanting a lighthearted mystery.

Take the Monkeys and Run. This book is absolutely hilarious! I love the whole Barbara Marr series.

Kept me up.... I should have just waited till the next day, but I wanted to know what happened. Well written and entertaining. Even though I predicted some things early on, it was great to see how they unfolded. I'll definitely be getting more in this series.

Take the Monkeys and run. I had fun reading this book. The author's sense of humor kept me smiling and waiting for the next jab.

Take the monkeys and run. Couldn’t put it down, funny and totally entertaining.

Very entertaining. This was my first Karen Cantrell book. I liked her character development and was always surprised by the twists and turns.

A madcap adventure. Four stars

Take the Monkeys and Run. I very rarely stop reading a book once I get past the first 10 pages but I had to give up on this book at chapter 7. The main character Barbara Marr becomes so unlikable that I could not continue. It’s actually great character development by the writer but she creates such a distasteful personality in her detective, and knowing that this is going to be the hero throughout, and there is not going to be any redemption because the author expects you to actually like her detestable creation, well, I just had to give up. She should have made this character into one of the villains and killed her off in some horrible way and created a flawed but basically likable hero. Don’t even start reading this, you’ll wish you hadn’t.

Very entertaining!. Easy read, laugh-out-loud moments, and lots of action. It was just fun to read.

Take the Monkeys and Run. As promised by the title, this book inspired giggles. Despite violence and lies, Barbara Marr keeps a cheerful outlook as she tries to unravel the mystery of the empty house next door and the monkeys in her trees. Somehow she roped a local cop, fellow soccer moms, and an ex into her shenanigans. Some of the details of this story are rather unbelievable, but It still entertained me. What details? I can’t tell those without spoiling some of the fun.

Ms Cantrell. Why isn’t Take The Monkey and run a movie yet. Great fun and very funny. Thanks throughly enjoyed the book. Sonny Atienza

A very enjoyable read!. First, let me say I love Indy authors. Karen Cantwell has just joined my list of “must read” authors… those that I must read every book they write. Well developed characters, believable plots, and a twist that isn't telegraphed too early. In general, a quite pleasant way to relax. I highly recommend this book.

Nice book. This book really made me smile I guess?

Take the Monkeys and Run. I really enjoyed this book. I laughed out loud and was surprised by the plot twists. I will definitely look for more books by this author.

Fun and entertaining!. Even though it was predictable, I found the story and the author's humor quite entertaining! The story was a fun ride to go on!

Take the monkeys and RUN. I loved every single page of this book!! As a new housewife I can relate to a lot of events... Well, maybe not the mob thing... A hailrious book! I love it 😘😍🔫💃🙊🙉🙈

March 4, 2017. Now this is good! A cross between Erma Bombeck and Nancy Drew, it has suspense, laugh-out-loud humor, AND good writing. And this from me, who doesn't think twice about sending a half read book back into the electronic trash heap if it doesn't live up to early expectations. I couldn't put it down.

Take the monkeys and run. A most delightful book. Enthralling from the beginning. Laugh-out loud humorous.

Quite fun and funny!. Lucked into this book on a free list and I’m so glad! Fast paced with great characters and many laugh out loud moments. I’ll definitely be reading more from this author.

Entertaining story. I enjoyed almost everything.

Take the Monkeys and Run. This was the first book I have read by this author. It was a free download and sounded fun, so I decided to give it a try. I enjoyed it! I will definitely look for more of her titles! Her style reminds me of Janet Evanovich and the Stephanie Plum series.

What Fun!. With such an odd title, I didn't think this was going to be my kind of mystery. Was I wrong. The book was so entertaining I smiled, chuckled, and laughed out loud in places. A very enjoyable fantasy, very different than most of the dark mysteries I'm used to reading. I highly recommend this fun-filled novel.

Great read!. Exciting, funny, witty and entertaining. Very well-written.

Great read!. Starts off a little slower, but today I read wayyy more than half the book because I couldn't stop! I had to know how it all worked out!

Take the monkeys and run. Fast paced, funny, delightful...

Had me laughing out loud!. Great book for just plain fun entertainment. I was reading next to my husband who was sleeping and had to cover my mouth because I was laughing so hard. I love the characters-very real-they could be anyone's friends.

Monkeys. Don't know what made me buy this book. I'm usually not into novels. But I'm glad I did. This is the most hilarious book I have read in a while. Would highly recommend it to anyone that needs a laugh in their life.

Written by a monkey.. Would have given zero stars but that option wasn't available.

What in the racism??. Mocks accents and plays it off as a “comedy”. Unnecessary poor spelling of words just so you can read a stereotypical accent. Disgusting.

Take the monkeys and run. This book had me hooked from start to finish and had me laugh here and there. This is one of the best boooks i have ever read and i would suggest it to any one who likes a good mystery with a couple twist and humorous laughs in it. Great book for young adults and over.

Take the Monkeys and Run. This was a very cute story, suspenseful and held my interest! I really enjoyed the read!

Take the Monkeys and Run. What a wonderful change from the usual sappy single female in these type of books. A married women who can actually think for herself and is not constantly lusting after some "Hunk" who has to rescue her;because ladies; married sex is HOWLING WOW❣️❣️❣️💋💋💋💋😻😻😻👅PANT-PANT👅

Highly entertaining. A ripping yarn, engaging characters and chortle worthy humour.

Take the monkeys and run. Engaging. Entertaining. Exciting. Read it.

Just right for me. Normally I would never go near anything with violence in it - whatever media it was. I really enjoyed this though. For a change from chick lit. Amusing, kept me reading but without. Blood, guts and gore. As a nurse I see enough of that at work! Can't believe I actually read a crime/murder book and enjoyed it without it giving me nightmares. Going onto the next one now.

A good story. Haven't read a book on my iPad in ages and picked this up via a google search for free titles. A good book with good characters and plenty of twists and turns. Enjoyed the way the plot worked out. Worth a read.

Funny crime novel with unguessable ending. A well written, amusing crime caper which keeps you guessing until the end.

Take the Monkeys and Run. Loved this! The humour made me want to keep reading till the end. The characters were interesting and the story really entertaining. Don’t hesitate...grab this and read!!

Clever and funny!. I was very pleasantly surprised to find myself laughing out loud while reading! The characters were vivid, the dialogue hilarious and their antics kept me engrossed. I am happy to have stumbled on Karen Cantwell's book Take the Monkeys and Run and will definitely read more!

A light fun read. Though I didn’t immediately like our heroine, she kind of grew on me. If your were hoping for a fine piece of literary writing, this is not the book for you. If you were looking for a light fun read, you found it.

Take the monkeys and run. It not that funny

Lots of fun. Hard to put down.. At first, I thought the central character was highly neurotic and unappealing. Very quickly, though, I found myself drawn into the book and the kooky characters, and actually found it difficult to put it down. If you're a fan of the ludicrous humour styles of Douglas Adams, Paul Herck, or Blackadder, you'll certainly enjoy this book. I honestly never knew what to expect next (and that is rare for me). I look forward to reading all of Karen Cantwell's Barbara Marr stories!
