Strong Start to New Sanford Series

With Dark of the Moon John Sanford, the author of the Lucas Davenport series, begins a new detective series with the central character being one Virgil Flowers. In this novel, the laconic Flowers tracks down the clues to solve a case that had the local police baffled. Dark of the Moon is an excellent mystery novel and as such Virgil Flowers is likely to become one of the hottest fictional detectives around.

John Sandford Does it Again with Phantom Prey

Phantom Prey is an excellent book. As always, John Sandford has you sitting on the edge of your seat as you read this book. I could not put it down and read the book through the night. Absolutely worth a lost night of sleep! Check it out, because you won't regret getting this book!

1st Audio Book

This was my first audio book. I prefer the paper variety but enjoyed the listen. The reader was excellent and, of course, I just like John Sanford's stories. I recommend it especially if you want to 'read' a good book AND drive or crochet or knit.

ok

ok, not great , not bad. i was not on the edge of my seat reading this book, but i didnt stop reading it either. for a small town book it had alot of names to keep up with , that sometimes got a little confusing .

Good Start To Another Series

This book is a good start to John Sandford's new series featuring Virgil Flowers. I enjoyed the Flowers character in the last Prey novel. In this book, however, it was as if the reader was supposed to know all about him. As for the actual mystery, I like how it evolved until the end. It wrapped up quickly and predictably. This is not one of John Sandford's better books however for a first book in the series it is just ok. I guess the thing that I found troublesome was that in the acknowledgments, Mr. Sandford states that he had a co-writer with this book. However that writer isn't listed on the cover and wasn't mentioned by Amazon. I'm not sure why Mr. Sandford would need to use a co-writer but maybe this is why the book isn't up to his usual standards. It didn't flow and have the sarcastic interplay between the characters that most of his books have. I'm going to give the second book in this series a shot just because it's John Sandford when it comes out later this fall, but I'm not sure I will stay with it.
