Shock Wave by John Sandford
Honestly relieved that this one wasn't as dark in content as the last one I read in the series.
Virgil is Virgil, some recurring supporting and some fresh cast of characters is more agreeable than despicable, the mystery is twisty without being exasperating and, per the usual, there's a minor subplot with a hilarious end. Also appreciated the upending of the series' standard trajectory on another dependable subplot, IYKYK. 😉
Has moments where you can definitely tell it was written more than ten years ago (mild female objectification/sexism) but compared to the other detective series I'm following from the 70s...it's within my tolerance levels.
