About this listen

Virgil Flowers heads north to solve a puzzling murder - and finds that the country is very rough indeed. While competing in a fishing tournament in a remote area of northern Minnesota, Flowers gets a call from Lucas Davenport asking him to investigate a murder at a nearby resort, where a woman has been shot while kayaking. The resort is for women only: a place to relax, get fit, recover from plastic surger,y and commune with nature.

As Flowers starts to ask questions, he finds a web of connections between the people at the resort, the victim and some local women, notably a talented country singer. And the more he digs, the more he discovers the resort to be a hotbed of jealousy, blackmail, greed, anger, and fear.

Then he discovers that this is not the first murder, that there was a second, seemingly unrelated killing the year before - and that there's about to be a third, definitely related one, any time now. As for the fourth...well, Virgil had better hope he can catch the killer before that happens. Because it could be his own.

After reading John Sandford's books some time ago I am now working my way through them again via audio books. I had forgetten how enjoyable his work is and Eric Canger did a great job narrating. This one is from the Virgil Flowers series and starts with the murder of a woman who was staying at a remote resort frequented by the Lesbian community. But that is only the tip of the iceberg as Virgil discovers more murders and some older murders that all seem to be interlinked with a buxom and popular country singer. An entertaining story story from start to finish and a top tier effort from John Sandford.
