Description
Virgil Flowers will have to watch his back--and his mouth--as he investigates a college culture war turned deadly in another one of Sandford's "madly entertaining Virgil Flowers mysteries" (New York Times Book Review).
At the local state university, two feuding departments have faced off on the battleground of science and medicine. Each carries their views to extremes that may seem absurd, but highly educated people of sound mind and good intentions can reasonably disagree, right?
Then a renowned and confrontational scholar winds up dead, and Virgil Flowers is brought in to investigate . . . and as he probes the recent ideological unrest, he soon comes to realize he's dealing with people who, on this one particular issue, are functionally crazy. Among this group of wildly impassioned, diametrically opposed zealots lurks a killer, and it will be up to Virgil to sort the murderer from the mere maniacs.
Reviews
Definitely not the old Virgil
2By Bill1369Most of the 1st half of book is a boring waste of time. (Another reviewer suggested Sandford had not even written this book. I wonder too.) The 2nd half gets Virgil back doing police work. However, the manner in which crime is ‘solved’ stretches credulity. Good apprehension of bad guy. But then are closing couple pages foretelling Virgil’s demise?Bloody Genius
1By GKSoCalFlowers like the Davenport series is great. Unfortunately every once in awhile a writer loses it. This is one of them.Love Virgil & Frankie
4By CoffeePheandI have loved and enjoyed every single book from The Virgil Flowers series and continue to read each one again and again! I love his adventures and especially now with Frankie expecting, I was hoping you’d include the birth at least in this book!! I would have given this book a 5 Star Review, however since you didn’t include what happened I guess I’ll have to wait 2 more years? Disappointed, tsk, tsk, tsk😕Virgil F. Flowers!!
5By IngoamriiiiiiiiiingoamriAnother great Virgil story. Fast paced, great characters and well written as usual.Bloody Genius
4By Queen 1001!Love the Virgil Flowers character with his wit and humor. So many clues but still couldn’t solve it on my own yet author didn’t throw a curveball at the end to wrap up the story. Thoroughly enjoyed the writing style and storytelling.Page turner
4By 83ashtoddAnother hit from Sanford. Can’t wait to see what Virgil is up to next!Bloody Genius
1By KVHreaderI am so disappointed in this book. As a huge Sandford fan I can tell that he did not write this book. It fell flat at every turn, and there were so many things that Virgil Flowers would NEVER say or do... It’s clear to me it was written by one or more ghost writers, and people that weren’t from Minnesota! The U of MN colors are not RED and Gold- they are burgundy and gold- and that’s just one small example of the mistakes that were made. I never thought Sandford would be so deceptive.Bloody Genius
