good start and finish, but got a little tedious in the middle.

Darn good

A bit slow in places, but overall good read. It could have concluded more quickly as it wasn’t hard to figure out after introducing the computer geek.

I am so sad, that I just read the last book in the series, called bloody genius. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Outstanding

I have read all the prior Virgil Flowers novels and thought they were 5 stars excellent. This one was confusing and the exchanges between characters were written like an amateur writer. If John Sandford wrote this, he was distracted or half asleep. Frankly I lost interest by page 205.

Most of the 1st half of book is a boring waste of time. (Another reviewer suggested Sandford had not even written this book. I wonder too.) The 2nd half gets Virgil back doing police work. However, the manner in which crime is ‘solved’ stretches credulity. Good apprehension of bad guy. But then are closing couple pages foretelling Virgil’s demise?

Flowers like the Davenport series is great. Unfortunately every once in awhile a writer loses it. This is one of them.

I have loved and enjoyed every single book from The Virgil Flowers series and continue to read each one again and again! I love his adventures and especially now with Frankie expecting, I was hoping you’d include the birth at least in this book!! I would have given this book a 5 Star Review, however since you didn’t include what happened I guess I’ll have to wait 2 more years? Disappointed, tsk, tsk, tsk😕

Another great Virgil story. Fast paced, great characters and well written as usual.
