Rough Country (2009) is the third book in the Virgil Flowers novel series. Virgil is a Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension investigator. Brilliant plot, funny and an enjoyable page-turner.
Gist of the book: 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.
About the author: John Sandford is the pseudonym of the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and best-selling novelist John Roswell Camp. He is the author of the Prey novel series, the Kidd novel series, and other fiction/non-fiction books. He lives in Minnesota.
Rating: 5/5
