Class reunions: a time for memories – good, bad, and, as Virgil Flowers is about to find out, deadly – in the thrilling new novel in the number one New York Times best-selling series.
Virgil knows the town of Trippton, Minnesota, a little too well. A few years back, he investigated the corrupt – and, as it turned out, homicidal – local school board, and now the town’s back in view with more alarming news: A woman’s been found dead, frozen in a block of ice. There’s a possibility that it might be connected to a high school class of 20 years ago that has a midwinter reunion coming up, and so, wrapping his coat a little tighter, Virgil begins to dig into 20 years’ worth of traumas, feuds, and bad blood. In the process one thing becomes increasingly clear to him. It’s true what they say: High school is murder.
Quick Read This was a quick read. After reading the Virgil Flowers series, I found this book to be a little lacking in both plot and characters. The Flowers character was flat this time and there wasn’t any more development into him. Straight up crime book about how he finds the killer when we already know.
Loving Virgil! Besides being a travelogue for Minnesota, I.e. If you like lots of snow and COLD weather like I do, the Virgil Flowers mysteries are so down to earth, well written and a joy to read. Virgil finds himself in Trippton again with another couple of murders to solve. That place must be the murder capital of small town Minnesota!! All in all, a terrific read.
