Virgil Flowers is quite the unusual hero

Virgil Flowers started his career as a side character in several Lucas Davenport stories penned by John Sandford, but soon earned his solo wings. Unlike Lucas (a driven, politically savvy cop-cum-administrator), Virgil has managed a healthier work-life balance and is prone to the occasional self-indulgence; this can take the form of going AWOL for a whole day of fly fishing or fraternizing with a witness. Shock Wave is yet another great book from John Sandford. Bone-dry prose and very enjoyable dialog. Virgil Flowers is as likeable a hero as he is unlikely, in his rock-band T-shirts and folksy, laid-back manner.

Not the Virgil I was expecting.

I've thoroughly enjoyed Sandford's Virgil Flowers books, even preferring him to Lucas Davenport. But this Flowers seems coarser and his dialogue less interesting. There were few of those revealing moments when he became a multi dimensional character, someone you'd like to know. Maybe that's why he ends up alone and maybe it's just that Sandford is beginning to explore the downside of Virgil' s lifestyle. Either way I hope he gets on track with the next one, Virgil is too good a character to fade away.

A pretty good read

Sandford is pretty much Sandford. I enjoy is stuff but this isn't as good as the Prey series but it's the usual entertaining stuff he usually puts out.

Another great book...

Another great book by Sandford, this time the "heroe" was one of Davenport's assistants. Crimes took place, mainly, in a small village close to Minneapolis
