Always fun to read a Virgil Flowers novel. I love it all except the perp in the end felt too convenient.

If not for a slow start...but it really finished up nicely. Flowers is such a great character. I figured it out a little early but it was still a lot of fun.

Unlike some of my friends here on Goodreads, I was not at all disappointed with this book. I really like Virgil Flowers and I'm sorry to hear he's being retired by the author. I may have to go back and read them all again one day to get my fix.
I thought the story was interesting - a murder with no clues, red herrings, the usual fun banter with Virgil's sometimes corny humor. Perhaps not quite as much of his "wise-guy" humor, but still there.
Some people miss the sexual tension from when he was more single and flirted more, but people grow up, and he shows himself to be a likeable, decent human who seems to care about people without being too soft. I'll miss him.

I am sad that this is the last in the series, at least so far. I will read the two cross-over Davenport/Flowers books next.

I absolutely adore Virgil Flowers!! By turns puzzling, thrilling, funny and always super smart, this 12th book in the series was a joy ride! Outstanding!!
