Rough Country

A Virgil Flowers Novel, Book 3

De: John Sandford

Narrado por: Eric Conger

The murder of a successful advertising executive leads Detective Virgil Flowers to the unlikely scene of the crime: a peaceful and bucolic wooded resort with as many suspects as it has secrets....

While competing in a fishing tournament in a remote area of Northern Minnesota, Virgil Flowers receives a call from Lucas Davenport to investigate a brutal murder at a nearby resort for women only. As Virgil begins investigating, he finds a web of connections between the people at the resort, the victim, and some local women, notably a talented and popular country singer. The more Virgil digs, the more he discovers the arrows of suspicion point in many directions, encompassing a multitude of motivations: jealousy, blackmail, greed, anger, and fear.

Then Virgil discovers something that sends his investigation reeling. This is not the first murder connected to the Eagle Nest Lodge. Nor will it be the last....

Please note: This is the abridged edition. An unabridged version is also available.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Rich, satisfying, and frequently hilarious.” (Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly)

“Sandford takes literary chances, and he succeeds brilliantly here with Minnesota state cop Virgil Flowers. The characters, especially Flowers, come vividly and delightfully to life, and the dialogue is sprightly, witty, and sometimes sexy. Sandford writes entertainment that’s not to be missed. Grade: A.” (The Cleveland Plain Dealer)

“It’s a complicated case, but Virgil is up to the task, and, as always, he’s funny, smart, and tough when he needs to be.” (Publishers Weekly)

Great Book

That F in Flowers does not disappoint
crime, broken hearts and human nature.
set in a rural area with lakes and buried in the ground murders

Usual recipe for Flowers. Disappointed for sure.

My expectations were slowly and positively crushed as this book progressed. Nothing even remotely NEW to the storyline or characters.

Predictable

Good narration, good character development, good story flow. A few surprises which always make the reading enjoyable without the reader feeling duped by crazy end of story “ got ya”

Great story

I am a Huge John Sanford
fan.
This story is one of his best!
His character Virgil Flowers never disappoints.

Typical for that f-ing Flowers

Really over all enjoyed the book. The Virgil Flowers character never disappoints. This time however the story was predictable and felt a bit as though the author was fulfilling a contract for one more book.

Performance could be better

Book was very good. I was bothered by the attempt to dramatize with music the interval between some chapters. Minor annoyance but I cannot understand why they thought they needed more drama than was already in a good nove.

Virgil Flowers does it again!

This time Virgil relunctantly keeps his virtue in tact. Am beginning to think that Minnesota is a lot like the South!😉

WOW

In keeping with he Davenport novels, this book is awesome. I am loving the Virgil Flowers series so far. I may move on to the Kit series next!!! Thank you James Sandford!!!!

All of it

Everything is great, I love John Sanders books, they keep you interested and awake. Can’t wait to read more!

great story

love this book. keeps you guessing and knowing of the locations of the events is even better as I am living in Minnesota!
