This is one of the best Virgil Flowers books. The reveal is different, creative. The chase is very fast paced.

You just can't go wrong with a John Sandford book! I love revisiting Virgil, his growing family and some of the cops from the Lucas Davenport series. Virgil meets the best people while he's out fighting crime in his band t-shirts and shit kicker boots.

Another great Virgil story. This is a twisted tale and although I've read it before, I was still over half way through before I could remember whodonit. That's great writing!!

I love John sand ford and the Virgil flowers series, but this was just not good. Poor plot, and characters I have loved were lame. Maybe Virgil has run his course at book 12.

I used to like this series, but now, re-reading them, I just find them boring. The plots just drag on and on with so little forward movement until the rush at the end.
I do like Virgil's character, though.

Virgil is called in to the Twin Cities to investigate the murder of a University professor. Virgil and his BCA cohorts are always fun and the narration of the audio by Eric Conger was well done.

An okay read, not one of Sandford’s best. The Clue game bit was hokey and hard to take seriously. Flowers and Trane were a good pair.
