A doctor at the U of MN is murdered in the library. And this game of clue was a little more difficult to figure out. The doctor was a bit of an ass, but he was also very good at his job. He had many people he might have upset enough to do him in. To top things off, Virgil is sent to help solve the murder, even though the police officer in charge hasn't asked for help yet. This is a good way to not get a warm reception. (

3.5 solid and enjoyable. (

This murder mystery was all over the map, but most of Virgil Flower's cases are. Virgil starts out investigating a murder, then gets sidetracked and sidetracked again. At least it wasn't all wasted time since several other murders and crimes get solved along the way. Mr. Sandford's usual humor is, as always, timely and welcome. Hurry up, Frankie! I can't wait to meet the twins! (

Unlike some of my friends here on Goodreads, I was not at all disappointed with this book. I really like Virgil Flowers and I'm sorry to hear he's being retired by the author. I may have to go back and read them all again one day to get my fix.

I thought the story was interesting - a murder with no clues, red herrings, the usual fun banter with Virgil's sometimes corny humor. Perhaps not quite as much of his "wise-guy" humor, but still there.

Some people miss the sexual tension from when he was more single and flirted more, but people grow up, and he shows himself to be a likeable, decent human who seems to care about people without being too soft. I'll miss him. (

Typical Sandford. Which is to say: pretty great. Not a lot of tension or a real sense of danger in this one, but the story rolls right along, with bits of humor to spice up the proceedings. (
