Rough Country Audiobook

" Poor fucking Virgil Flowers cannot catch a break. This one had a huge gaping plot hole but I decided to not care. A fun, quick read. Just what I needed. "

" Another suspense novel, with an interesting detective who is on a police force but unconventional in style. Interesting setting and complicated mystery. Enjoying the Minnesota background of these books. "

" i love john sandfords lucas davenport series. virgil flowers is a newer series that does not disappoint, my favorite thing about his writing is the character development and both lucas and virgil draw you in, particularly if you enjoy crime novels... a new favorite series for me. "

" Always enjoy any book that John Sandford has written. "

" Put your boat in tow and head up north for some fishing and maybe a murder or two. Virgil Flowers in his breakout novel. "

" I thought that I have already written my review of this book. i know I thought it was a really good read, with well developed story and characters. I am not remembering much more of the story line now. "

" Probably the least favorite of the Flowers book. I really didn't understand why he wrote this one. "

" brain candy... just a bit of escapism. "

" One of the best John Sandford books Ive ever read!!! I didnt want to put it down, it was so good :) "

" Virgil is not a tough as Lucas but still is a great character "

" Virgil Flowers's methods of investigation may be unorthodox but they make for an excellent read. "

" This is my first John Sandford book. A couple gals in my book club pass his books back and forth so I wanted to try one. It was a good "who done it"; entertaining read. I would read more of his books. My daughter's hooked on his "Prey" novels. I'll have to catch them, too. "

" Local guy. Good writer. "

" I am a avid fan of John Sandford and I really like the Virgil Flowers character. This book did not disappoint. "

" Terrific as are all his books! "

" While I really like the character, Virgil Flowers, I do not care for the plots the author creates for him. I miss Lucas Davenport and those wonderful books written about him. This one didn't capture me and all I wanted to do was finish it and find another book to read. "

" It's hard to enjoy a book when you don't like the main character "

" A good solid read. Kept me guessing till the end. Total immersion. "

" Nicely done. The plot drags in spots, and at one point we are given information that the characters in the book do not have, which is frustrating once you know what they should be doing (and are not). Good finish. "

" Not a bad story....I did finish it. I prefer Sanford's lucas Davenport to his Virgil Flowers. "

" I like the character Virgil Flowers. He is off the beaten track of life. "

" I hadn't read any of the Virgil Flowers books previously, but as soon as I finished this, I ran to the library and checked the others out. I think that says it all as far as my opinion. "

" Virgil Flowers, a secondary character from Sandford's bestselling Prey series, is a worthy and charismatic hero in his own right as evidenced in this 3rd novel featuring the likeable investigator. Lots of action and humor keep the pages turning quickly. "

" A fun, rolicking detective mystery. Not challenging (unless trying to decipher fishing lingo) but fun. Very similar to Dave Robicheaux mysteries but set in Minnesota. There's even a Cletes Purcell-type character. "

" A good book, even if I'm not in love with the new character, Virgil Flowers yet. Give me Davenport. Still a good mystery with interesting characters and storylines! "

" Like the humorous and lighthearted style of this series. Nice change from the darker and more serious Lucas Davenport books. "

" I would have started the novel through the eyes of the villain and brought the villain in more often than happened in this novel. At the end, I had built up sympathy for two characters that got brutalized and I found that hard to take. Otherwise, I really enjoyed the story and recommend the novel. "

" Dug this one. A despite a really grim plot premise it had a bit more humor than usual. I think Virgil is starting to outrank Lucas. "

" I've been a fan of Sandford's since the first Prey book kept me up all night reading. This one wasn't that suspenseful but still good. "

" Not nearly as well written as the previous Sandford I read. Not really even a page turner. Wouldn't recommend. "

" You just gotta love that "f*ckin' Flowers"... "

" good, I'm liking Virgil Flowers... not as much as Lucas, but he's growing on me. "

" Virgil Flowers saves the day. Good read. Fast paced. Virgil is a fun character I can't seem to get enough of. "

" Good read. One of my favorite authors. "
