I've really enjoyed reading a number of Sanford books. This one is full of the characters I've come to know from previous Virgil Flowers books. The plot is a bit rambling but ties up nicely as her previous books. Perhaps slightly less jeopardy because of the subject matter. Had a good read set in this universe created by John Sandford last.

Love the characters and the banter
