Deep Freeze

Virgil's back for another investigation in Trippton, and while we know early on who the killer is, it's always fun to watch that Fu#!in' Flowers do his thing. Along with the murder case, Virgil gets pulled into another case that is more amusing than mysterious, but he soon finds out that the women of Trippton aren't to be trifled with. While this one doesn't have as much action as previous books in the series, we do get an engaging story full of Sandford's wit, especially with Virgil's pal, Johnson, on the scene. True to form, there are some twists along the way with one interesting twist in Virgil's personal life to close out the story. How that last one will go remains to be seen and I'm not sure how I feel about it given Virgil's history, but it should be entertaining to watch it play out in the next book. As always, Eric Conger does an excellent job on the narration with a style that is perfect for this series.

Sanford once again has developed another character in Virgil that this reader enjoys following. Virgil a working mans cop that doesn't always play by all the rules.

Typical Virgil Flowers crime story with at least one diversion with Ken & Barbie. Fast moving and an excellent read. And now another year to wait.....
