I started on this detective/mystery series after I heard parts of John Sandford's "Rough Country" being read on XM Book Radio. I was immediately sold on it! John's "Virgil Flowers" is a "real" guy, one we'd all like to know, either as a son, a brother, a friend or a fellow law enforcement officer. Virgil definitely has his priorities set straight....fishing, the job, fishing, the ladies (likes'em, adores'em and is fascinated by their mysterious ways), fishing, fishing and more fishing! Are we beginning to see a pattern here? None-the-less, you can always be sure Virgil will be in the midst of things searching for the "usual suspects". He'll look high and low along the highways and byways of the great state of Minnesota till he finds who-dunnit! John Sandford also writes about "real" places in Minnesota, i.e. towns, villages, the back roads and lakes that many of us know and love, even those of us who live out-of-state. My wife and I pass through Virgil Flowers' hometown of Mankato as we travel from South Dakota to the cities on our way to see our son, daughter-in-law and grandson! We'll definitely be looking for Virgil driving his truck, pulling his boat every time we pass through from now on! At first, I searched locally to find these books; when I found them unavailable, I came right to eBay and ordered the three remaining books I needed to complete the series (5 books) to present publication. This is the second series of books I've started reading as a result of hearing them on XM Book Radio (Channel 66 on XM). I'm glad I took the chance to give John's work a look-see. I don't regret it and neither will you. Give John a try; you and Virgil just might become the best of friends! It also goes without saying, these books have been a great value for the money. If you can't find them locally, give eBay a try. Worried about buying a "used" book? Don't be. Everyone I've bought on eBay so far has been in great shape and a bargin to boot!Read full review
