Mad River

Mad River (Virgil Flowers, #6)


"Mad River" is a thrilling detective story by John Sandford in the Virgil Flowers series.  It's not really a murder mystery because the reader knows from the beginning who the murderers are, but it is a thriller as Bureau of Criminal Apprehension investigator Flowers attempts to find them before too many additional murders are committed.  This is the first novel in which I have seen the word "defenestration" used.  There is one discontinuity in this book.  On one page Virgil gets out of his 4runner and takes his cooler with him.  A page or so later he goes back to his truck to get a diet coke out of the cooler.
