Murder by Degrees is the first novel featuring husband and wife, Winnie and Thatch, although they were apparently featured in some short stories. Their grandson, Gary, has disappeared somewhere along I-95 while driving from his college in Maine to his home in Florida about a year before, and they are trying to find him. They've posted flyers along his route, made trips to investigate sightings, and have learned to use the internet to do more investigations. So far, they have not found out anything.
They then receive a phone call from a woman whose son has just disappeared from the same college their grandson attended. She was given their name by the police officer in Maine, and she begs them to search for her son. They agree to search for her son, and they fly off to Maine to start their investigating.
They are caught up in several unexpected events during their investigations. They also find their lives in danger several times.
There were some interesting plot twists, but for some reason I just didn't really like this book. I just can't seem to relate to Winnie somehow, and Thatch seems to be a little unreal in my opinion. Although I didn't dislike the book that much, I probably won't read any other books in this series.
