Deep Freeze by John Sandford
Virgil Flowers Series Book #10
5★'s
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 twenty years ago that has a mid-winter reunion coming up, and so, wrapping his coat a little tighter, Virgil begins to dig into twenty 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.The character of Virgil Flowers began his "career" in the Davenport series and has taken on a persona all his own. He's smarter than he wants people to believe he is...he's methodical in his investigations...hanging on like a dog with it's favorite bone until he gets his suspect...and he takes the reader right along with him page after page. I have never been disappointed with anything that John Sandford produced in either of these series.
