Virgil Flowers

review 1: A good Bonnie and Clyde type killing spree. Virgil Flowers, investigator for the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension in the state of Minnesota, has been assigned to find the killers and bring them to justice. He runs into a sheriff and his deputies that would like to take the law into their own hands. They figure it's better to shoot the killers rather than bring them in alive. Jimmy Sharp, Becky Welsh and Tom McCall are teenagers with dead-end lives and chips on their shoulders and guns. A real bad combination, when they have no food, no roof over their head, a run down car and no money. They make some terrible decisions and become the most wanted. Good story.
review 2: Virgil does it again. John Sandford writes the most interesting stories, some better th... morean others, this one was a winner. Nothing surprising in the structure of the story. Virgil against some really bad guys and girl. I guess the last person killed was killed by a surprise killer. I was going for some alliteration, oh well. I love them and will keep reading them. Although I agree with the reviewer, Cary, that talked about the value of a 4 star rating for Virgil vs Fahrenheit 451. less
