**** 4 stars
I've approached the last couple Sandford novels, either the Virgil Flowers or the Lucas Davenport series, with a bit of trepidation. He's just become a little bit uneven and unreliable for me. He's not an auto-buy anymore but he's still an auto-hold at the library.
I was pleased that this novel was enjoyable and engaging. I do really like the character of Virgil Flowers and his adventures in a small Minnesota city. The intrigue in this one was pretty good even if somewhat extreme. Conspiracies involving many parties seem to strain credibility but I was game for the ride. I was much less interested in the plot involving the dogs and by the time I got to the end, I saw why it was there at all. And I was pretty much unmoved; it seemed sort of phony, but really a minor nit. Mostly a fun and fast read.
