"I love John Sandford's Lucas Davenport series. This one had its main character Virgil Flowers who we first hear of in the prey series. A great read - lots of suspense and twists and turns. Likeable hero, and kept me guessing. I read this in a day - a real page turner. John Sandford rocks! "

" It was ok. Not as good as some of the later Virgil Flowers books but now at least I get where he got his start. "
— Jill, 1/20/2014 -
" 4-1/2 stars. The book started out a little slow and it was occasionally difficult to keep all the characters straight in my mind, but overall a great story. "
— Theresa, 12/31/2013 -
" Very good read. Love a who-done-it. Definitely a page turner. I want my own Virgil! Ready for book 2 in this series. "
— Sharon, 12/21/2013 -
" Didn't think I would like anyone as much as Davenport, but that fuckin Flowers is pretty damn good!! "
— Lisa, 12/18/2013 -
" Just discovered John Sandford. Love his characters and settings...very enjoyable readings. Now on to the Prey series! "
— David, 12/14/2013 -
" I've enjoyed reading John Sandford's "Prey" series, but didn't find Virgil Flowers to be much of an interesting character with any depth. The plot was decent and imaginative, but fell short of Sandford's other excellent novels. "
— Kent, 12/10/2013 -
" I really enjoy this series. I didn't even start with the first book but could keep up. I enjoy the character of Virgil Flowers and this was a very fast paced thriller. I was never quite sure who was the killer until the very end- just how I like it! "
— Meghan, 12/2/2013 -
" Don't really like Virgil Flowers as much as Lucas Davenport. "
— Becky, 11/26/2013 -
" I was skeptical about whether Sanford could pull off writing Virgil Flowers significantly different from Lucas Davernport but he pulled it off. Story moved at a "tense" pace and I enjoyed it enough to check out the second. "
— Rebecca, 11/21/2013 -
" Still like John Sandford -- and like Virgil Flowers books too! Not as much as Lucas....but definitely worth killing some time with. "
— Delie, 10/29/2013 -
" A change from the Prey series this stand alone tells the story of an investigation into the murder of one of the wealthiest and most hated men in a small town. "
— Marsha, 10/4/2013 -
" Thank God Sandford created Virgil Flowers, because Lucas Davenport simply doesn't produce enough material to satiate THIS fan! "
— M., 8/17/2013 -
" I always enjoy John Sanford's mysteries-this is not a Davenport story but a new detective Virgil Flowers. pretty good read "
— Pmcdnld2, 4/27/2013 -
" Not as good as his PREY series "
— Brian, 11/8/2012 -

— Redsteve, 8/19/2012 -
" John Sandford writes good mysteries. "
— Claudia, 6/3/2012 -
" already read, hummm "
— Melony, 4/29/2012 -
" This is a good read. Virgil Flowers has a good sense of humor; wears rock related T-shirts; and has a way with women. Sandford' plot is tight and there are enough twists and turns to keep you guessing. The denouement ls unexpected. I plan on following this series "
— Edward, 3/9/2012 -
" Interesting new character from Sanford, Virgil Flowers. "
— Terry, 11/21/2011 -

" This is a good read. Detective story. Unfolds nicely. Keeps your interest; good suspense. "
— Joanna, 5/17/2011 -
" This one kept me guessing up until the end! Another great read.... "
— Lori, 4/29/2011 -
" Love 'that f---ing Flowers'! What a great new character--I'm sure John Sandford enjoys writing him because he's so different from Lucas Davenport. This is a great debut for Virgil. "
— Karen, 4/20/2011 -
" Really enjoyed the book. This is one of Sandford's Virgil Flowers episodes and I love the wry humor of Virgil & his investigative techniques. Very fast read. Became a little predictible slightly sooner than I hoped, but enjoyed it nonetheless. "
— Dale, 4/17/2011 -
" Like the author's style of writing. Action takes place in Minnesota. Protagonist: Virgil Flowers. Interesting characters, light humor. "
— Carol, 4/8/2011 -
" Good book, start was a bit slow but about a quarter in it picks up. Suprising amount of shooting, and a good amount of twists. "
— Gavin, 4/4/2011 -
" Police procedural. Central character is interesting, writing is lucid, action quick. Entertaining read. "
— Harry, 3/7/2011 -
" okay - started with audio book and 2nd half read. "
— Robert, 2/18/2011 -
" Virgil Flowers played a roll in the Lucas Davenport series. This is the first book in the new Virgil Flowers series. Another great series begun! "
— Laurie, 2/13/2011 -
" fun, fast, but characters got confusing at times "
— Sara, 2/10/2011 -
" ok ..sure better than the last book. At least it kept me turning the page. Sandford books are always a fast read. "
— Gail, 2/4/2011 -
" Sandford has an interesting writing style, quite different from the George series that I had currently been reading! But he weaves quite a lot of characters into his work, and enough twists and turns to keep you interested. Nice look at small town life too. "
— Glennie, 1/29/2011 -
" I like these Virgil Flowers books--this one involves the son of woman killed in an accident who comes back for revenge, but no one suspects him, of course because there are several other candidates. "
— Kriscrowe, 1/16/2011 -
" Just discovered John Sandford. Love his characters and settings...very enjoyable readings. Now on to the Prey series! "
— David, 1/4/2011 -
" Sandford introduces a new character, Virgil Flowers, in this book. Virgil is not nearly as compelling as Lucas Davenport. An ok read. "
— Jake, 1/3/2011
