Notes:Fenn is a by-the-book cop in a worn out city. He's married to Meg, but their relationship is hindered by the fact that her brother Dwight is in prison for murder and she thinks he's a victim. When Dwight gets out, he moves in with Fenn and Meg, but Fenn knows he's up to something. Then there's a prison break and three known associates of Dwight escape. The cops find out they're holed up in the hills with two other crooks. When one of them comes down and kills a local businessman, the cops decide to send Meg in to look for them. She finds out Dwight isn't who she thought he was. They take her prisoner. The cops surround the house and kill or capture all the bad guys. Fenn and Meg are both shot, but recover and, in time, learn to love and trust each other.

Review - One Monday We Killed Them All

OK. A bit too violent to be really enjoyable. It was more about plot than character (although MacDonald did go off the trail several times giving back stories to minor characters), so I never really cared.
