A review by nsa101
Holy Ghost by John Sandford
3.0
When writing a review, a wise woman once told me to review the book you read, not the book you wish the author had written. I am a huge John Sanford fan and have been along for the ride with Virgil Flowers. That f****** Flowers is still the laid back, go with the flow detective that we have grown to know and love. He still ropes in Jenkins and Shrake when the going gets tough and has finally started to settle down with Frankie.
What was lacking for me throughout the book was fast paced plot line. Virgil finds himself in Wheatfield, MN investigating a series of shootings. This is a small town with not a lot going on and although we are introduced to some interesting characters, not a lot happens until the later half of the book. I can usually fly through a John Sanford novel in one or two days, but I found myself getting distracted easily. I rated it a 3 (probably could be (3.5 stars) and I will continue to keep up with Virgil in the next book that comes out but this one was just OK for me.
