John Sandford - Dark Of The Moon

Three stars. Solid and enjoyable.

Virgil Flowers, an interesting but minor character from Sandford's Prey, investigates a series of murders in rural Minnesota. I'm inclined to like Sandford's books, but this isn't one of his best. Flowers comes across as implausibly heroic, and the small town inhabitants seems too eager to trust and accept him. The plot is entertaining enough, but it all felt a bit glib.
