Review:
Praise for Rough Country "Rich, satisfying, and frequently hilarious."--Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly "Sandford takes literary chances, and he succeeds brilliantly here with Minnesota state cop Virgil Flowers. The characters, especially Flowers, come vividly and delightfully to life, and the dialogue is sprightly, witty, and sometimes sexy. Sandford writes entertainment that's not to be missed. Grade: A."--The Cleveland Plain Dealer "Unexpected twists...Sandford excels at all the required elements of the novelist: plot, personality, and prose. The melding is masterful and produces an exquisitely paced book at once beautiful and profane, a story that fans of both crime-novel approaches can enjoy. He makes Flowers as appealing and captivating a character as always. With a confident touch, Sandford brings it all home in Rough Country."--Richmond Times-Dispatch "An entertaining romp...Sandford has long been one of the best crime series mystery writers around. He keeps the pages turning and the dialogue snapping better than anyone this side of Elmore Leonard. An entertaining...and completely engrossing page-turner."--The Post and Courier "Fast-paced [and] action-packed."--Minneapolis Star Tribune "It's a complicated case, but Virgil is up to the task, and, as always, he's funny, smart, and tough when he needs to be."--Publishers Weekly
