I have read all but one or two of the Prey series and loved them. So I wasn't sure if I would like the new leading character. I was pleasantly surprised, I really enjoyed the characters and the storyline. If liked the Prey series I'm sure you'll enjoy this book.

Good suspense, many suspects hinted at along the way to keep you guessing. I haven't read a John Sanford book in a long time and this one was enjoyable. It is not a Lucas Davenport book, although he is mentioned and there is some dialog with him through the main character, Virgil Flowers.

This was not one of John Sanford's best books. It was a little too slow and uncaptivating for my liking.

Like most of Sanford's book, Dark of the Moon was an easy read. Good book for a plane ride.

I have read Sandford's Prey series for many years and only wish he could turn them out faster. This new series with Flowers is proving to be right up there at the top of my wish list. Keep'um coming Mr. Sandford!! HootsAnnie

Good not great, this thriller starts slow, is way too wordy but keeps you guessing. Ends quickly, which always shocks me with books that are over wordy everywhere but at the end. Overall I would read more in the series and hope that he gets to the action a little quicker since we already know the main character.

Excellent start to introducing agent Virgil Flowers. This set me in the path of reading all the Virgil Flowers series. It has everything I love, action , humor and a main character with personality.

This book kept my attention all the way through. I enjoyed the new detective Virgil Flowers. The conversations between Virgil and Jim Stryker were very amusing.
