Book Recommendation: Deadline by John Sandford

Book Recommendation:  Deadline by John Sandford

 

Dolores and I always enjoy the novels by John Sandford. His latest book is Deadline (2014), A Virgil Flowers Novel. This very entertaining book is the eighth of the Virgil Flowers series, in a law enforcement setting in Minnesota. Virgil is a very colorful character and you will certainly enjoy this series. These are action filled books that you will read in a day or two because you will not want to put them down. Use the above links for more information.

If you have not read any of the John Sandford novels, you have a lot of catch up reading to do this winter. This author is a Pulitzer Prize winner for Feature Writing.

I will have to check out Deadline Roy. I love reading, it can take you elsewhere and away from the work or issues you are thinking about. Also such a good way to unwind and relax.

Have a nice evening.

Roy- I love John Sandford, especially his Prey series with Lucas Davenport.  I've just read a few of his Virgil Flowers books but will look for this one.
