Publisher Description
The first Virgil Flowers novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author John Sandford. Virgil's been doing the hard stuff for three years, but he’s never seen anything like this. In the small rural town of Bluestem, an old man is bound in his basement, doused with gasoline and set on fire. Three weeks before, a doctor and his wife were murdered. Three homicides in Bluestem in just as many weeks is unheard of. It’s also no coincidence. And it’s far from over.

"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! "

" this book starts off pretty good, gets you hooked pretty fast, but then it slows down...and it takes you a while to get through the middle of it to get towards the end where all the excitement is.....though i didn't feel a real connection with the characters, they weren't in depth enough, but all in all its a decent book. "

" First Virgil Flowers novel. Entertaining read! "
— Ellen, 2/1/2014 -
" Overall not a bad mystery. Probably more 3.5 stars than a full four but I do like Virgil as a character and would definitely read another book in the series. "
— Melissa, 1/30/2014 -
" Police procedural. Central character is interesting, writing is lucid, action quick. Entertaining read. "
— Harry, 1/20/2014 -
" This was a really good twisty story. I think I may be hooked on Virgil Flowers! "
— Gwen, 1/16/2014 -
" This is a good murder mystery. The main character, Virgil Flowers, is a new one for Sandford. Every once in a while, I enjoy reading a paperback thriller...this one will keep you guessing. "
— Jill, 1/12/2014 -
" That fuckin' Flowers, he's awesome!!! "
— Shannon, 1/8/2014 -
" Sandford changed things up a bit on this one. His star of the Prey books, Lucas Daveport, is but a minor character in this one. This stars Virgil Flowers and moves out of the usual Twin Cities area. It is a little slower than his usual thrill-a-minute killer/chiller books. "
— Patrick, 1/1/2014 -
" This was a good mystery piece with ever unfolding twists. I found Sandford's approach and his development of the Virgil Flowers character were well done and will revisit his work. Not a run out and get it book but fairly entertaining "
— Charly, 1/1/2014 -
" Good mystery, based in Minnesota! It's the first in a series. I liked that it also made me laugh at times "

— Sharron, 10/27/2013 -
" Eh. Not nearly as compelling as the prey novels. "
— Jessica, 5/11/2013 -
" Virgil Flowers is a state criminal investigator sent to a small town to help solve a series of murders. The character's ability to uncover clues is fun to follow and it proved to be an enjoyable audio book with enough twists and turns to keep it interesting. "
— Alice, 12/29/2012 -

— Virgil, 10/31/2012 -

— Michelle, 9/11/2012 -
" Took forever to finish. Just ok "
— Fganley, 8/19/2012 -
" Sandford is one of those authors that rarely, if ever, disappoint. You know when you pick up one of his books that you're in good hands. No exception here. "

" I love all of his books!! "
— Jayne, 12/27/2011 -
" 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, 6/28/2011 -

" 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 -

— 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
