Search - Rough Country (Virgil Flowers, Bk 3)

Sanford has done it again. His latest book starts with a lady thinking about finally realizing her dream and becoming head of her company and how to make the bottom line work by eliminating jobs. She is in a canoe looking at an eagles nest when she is shot. Virgil Flowers is interrupted in the middle of a fishing contest by Lucas Davenpot and must go to investigate. There are a lot of people in line as lead suspects. The dead lady is very wealthy. She is going to take over her company and people know there will be job cuts. An undiscovered singer needed her to hit the big time. Is there someone who doesn't want this to happen? Is someone jealous of her affairs? The burning question, will Virgil ever ease his sexual tension? The book has everything you would want in a mystery and is very well-written as all of Sanford's books are. It grabs you at the very beginning and keeps up until the last page.

just love Virgil Flowers...every book is more fun than the last one...my husband and I book read this quickly, as they are hard to put down.

This book is another John Sandford best seller for all the right reasons. Virgil Flowers works for Lucas Davenport with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension as an investigator. He's tough, hard-working, dedicated, and sensitive, all rolled up into a tall, good-looking package who doesn't take crap from anyone. Rough Country is a story about betrayal, murder, a talented bi-sexual singer, anger, jealousy, and all set in the beautiful, yet rough country in northern Minnesota. There are twists and turns everywhere throughout this book and just when you think you have it figured out, John Sandford throws a wrench into it and keeps you guessing right up to the very end. I had trouble putting this book down and eagerly await the next Virgil Flowers novel.

I have enjoyed all of the Virgil Flowers books and so far this was my favorite.
