Switched back and forth between the e-version and audio. Easy to read and listen to while gardening.

Pretty good. My favorite Virgil Flowers character book. Almost 2 books in 1. Who did it and then in the end, how to prove it. Both scenarios fairly well executed.

Another entertaining outing for Virgil Flowers. I really liked the small town atmosphere and all the characters in this book especially the crazy gals in the country band. The actual mystery plot was perhaps not quite as suspenseful as usual but felt the writing was crisp with just the right amount of humor sprinkled in. Listened to the audio version which was read by Eric Conger who I am starting to appreciate more with each installment of this series.

Overall, this book reminded me why I like Virgil so much. Enjoyable character. Good story.

 Once again the women are defined by their sexuality / appearance.
The villain is obvious--can't believe it takes Virgil that long to catch on. (As is typical of Sandford's work, I'm ready to end the book 1/5 earlier than he is).
Feel sorry for Windrow.
I *am* glad Joe returned--heck, that tertiary plot was my favorite in the book.
I know some of the books in the rest of the series are better.
