Description

Virgil Flowers investigates a miracle--and a murder--in the wickedly entertaining new thriller from the master of "pure reading pleasure" (Booklist)

Pinion, Minnesota: a metropolis of all of seven hundred souls, for which the word "moribund" might have been invented. Nothing ever happened there and nothing ever would--until the mayor of sorts (campaign slogan: "I'll Do What I Can") and a buddy come up with a scheme to put Pinion on the map. They'd heard of a place where a floating image of the Virgin Mary had turned the whole town into a shrine, attracting thousands of pilgrims. And all those pilgrims needed food, shelter, all kinds of crazy things, right? They'd all get rich! What could go wrong?

When the dead body shows up, they find out, and that's only the beginning of their troubles--and Virgil Flowers'--as they are all about to discover all too soon.

    I like almost all Virgil flower novels. This one is boring. Hard to get into the story, the characters aren’t compelling, not a fun book. Sorry John! Love your writing and guess everyone writes a dud sometimes. Just don’t become Grisham and make it a regular occurrence.

    Basic. If your looking for Robert Parker quality character driven novel, look elsewhere. Scale of 1-10...4. Read Louise Penny instead for award winning cop drama.

    It’s just a horrible book. No character development, no one to like, one, this one, hates all the characters for being so stupid. Silly plot. That’s just one fool's opinion for paying for it.

    Not my favorite Sandford book, and I have read every one. Virgil was made to appear as a Barney Fife character (bumbling idiot) Way too many pages about gun information, who cares? Goofy story line, did John really write this book? Hard to believe he did. Don' waste your money like I did.

    For the most part a good read. Not quite up to par as far as Virgil stories. Too many non-character characters. I read in my spare time, so rarely more than a chapter or two at one sitting, so I found the whole story a bit too tangled.

    I usually love Virgil Flowers books but this one was slow, dragged and had way too thin a story line. I would skip this book and hope Sanford returns to form in the future.
