Shock Wave (Virgil Flowers, Bk 5)
aladdin avatar reviewed on + 154 more book reviews


A thoroughly absorbing and convoluted read with a colorful collection of characters and mercenary villains. Virgil's boss is Lucas Davenport from Sanford's other series. Seems Flowers is the fellow that the State sends out to the Minnesota hinterlands to unravel mysteries and figure out the murderer. And he does with flair and persistence. Virgil is a fun fellow, enjoys fishing, eyes the ladies, and wears collectible R&R T shirts with his sport coat, but when it comes to detecting, he is all business, and eventually he figures out 'who dunnit' in this case, who the bomber is trying to stop the construction of a Big Box store in a small town.
