  — Booklist

• “The Flowers series is…formed from the same elements that make the Davenport books such a joy to read: sharp characterization, witty dialogue, and, at heart, a gritty, often puzzling mystery.

• “Bestselling New York Times author Sandford, who’s given us the long-running Prey series, here offers the fifth in his winning new series starring Virgil Flowers.”

  — Library Journal

• “The mystification and detection are authentic and the solution surprisingly clever.”

  — Kirkus Reviews

• “Eric Conger capably portrays Virgil’s placid exterior, the intensity and focus he’s more than able to dredge up when called for, and the drama generated by the bombings themselves. Conger also makes the most of the quirky small-town personalities that pepper the story and the attendant humor they generate. Sandford’s easygoing yet immersive crime story is well served by Conger.”

Sandford effortlessly conjures up the rhythms and personalities of a small town in one of his best outings to date.”
