Storm Front is a good Virgil Flowers book regarding a stolen artifact from Israel. The craziness that went into this tale starts at the very beginning and goes throughout the book. It is a good biblical story that involves the Israeli Mossad, killer Arabs, Lebanese, and a good plotter. Four stars were given to this creative novel with a great ending. (

A fun romp through SE Minnesota chasing a Middle Eastern artifact that is of interest to numerous parties. JS brings in the Mossad, Hezbollah, PBS and introduces Ma Nobles, a new VF love interest. Not a lot of depth to this one until the ending which pushed it to 4 stars. A good read with enough JS wise ass remarks to bring out the laughs. (

I liked this one for the same reason at least one reviewer didn't like it - it wasn't very serious. I thought the story was interesting enough to carry the humor and there were lots of surprises; the biggest was the plot of the story. This wasn't a typical Virgil Flowers case. All in all, I enjoyed it as much as any of the series, which is a lot. I'm not sure if the ending really made sense or whether I missed something, but it didn't really matter that much. It's easy to miss something in this story because there are a lot of characters, so pay attention. (

Not as good as some of the other Flowers books but a pretty quick read (

terrific read. Mr. Sandford has great timing. Makes you laugh and adds intensity at just the right times. (
