Produktbeschreibungen

Pressestimmen

"Once you start Shock Wave, you'll read it straight through, quickly, compulsively, happy the whole time to be in such good hands.”--The Washington Post

“Wry humor, a fully realized lead, and tense atmospherics…one of his best outings to date.”--Publishers Weekly
 
“The Flowers series is…formed from the same elements that make the Davenport books such a joy to read: sharp characterization, witty dialogue and, at heart, a gritty, often puzzling mystery. If Shock Wave is any indication, Flowers has a better than even chance of equaling if not surpassing Davenport in the hearts and minds of Sandford’s legion of readers.”--Bookreporter.com

4.0 von 5 Sternen Light prose, quirky hero, nice background 12. Februar 2013
Format:Taschenbuch
John Sandford (JF) created two dozen police procedurals around Lucas Davenport (LC), an unusual police investigator in Minneapolis, wealthy thanks to computer games and simulations he designed. He drives to work in a Porsche. This reader never enjoyed LC as a character as much as e.g. Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch or Lawrence Block's Matt Scudder.
This police procedural is JF's fifth about Virgil Flowers (VF), a roving policeman in rural Minnesota and answerable to LC. This reader missed his previous adventures and lots of background. What I learnt about him: he married 3 times and divorced 3 times within 3 years, which is quite a feat. He loves fishing, is a male bonder, good networker and rational thinker, always keeping his options open. He looks like a hippy, loves Diet Coke, McDonald food and rare t-shirts. Finally, he seems a somewhat religious person, which is quite rare in this genre. But his occasional references to boners and its equivalents cast doubt on the depth of his faith.
Whatever. This thriller is about a series of deadly bomb attacks with the first striking the boardroom of the Michigan-based HQ of PyeMart, a supermarket chain. Days later explosions destroy a PyeMart building site in a town of 18.000 in Minnesota and target several individuals, incl. VF. With help from a fellow fishing fiend, a focus group-like survey is held to highlight the most likely suspects. Meanwhile, finding a compelling motive behind the explosions is another challenge. Instructive about the methods and impact of big supermarket chains on small towns' existing businesses.

5.0 von 5 Sternen Another good read in the Virgil Flowers series 2. Dezember 2012
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Virgil Flowers is a likeable character. I have read all of the books so far and found all to be excellent. If you liked the Prey series, you will like Virgil. Every time I read one of them I think, 'This would be a dynamite movie!'.

I'm a great fan of police procedurals, particularly stories involving John Sandford’s homicide cop Lucas Davenport, despite the fact that the Prey books mostly contain vivid descriptions of violent crime towards women and children. However, Lucas gets them all at the end and justice is done.

Virgil Flowers, a much later creation of Sandford’s, is an entirely different kind of detective altogether: much more the thinker than the doer, and somehow a cross between Sherlock Holmes and Columbo. I like his skills of deduction, laid-back style, and laconic manner.

Unfortunately, Shock Wave is the worst-written and most boring of all the Sandford books. It goes all over the place, introducing characters and plot lines at random, creating no pace whatsoever along the way, and by the middle of the book you've completely lost interest. You just don't want to know the most important thing in a suspense: who did it?

The writing, to say the least, is atrocious. I only finished it (with difficulty and long yawns) out of a sense of loyalty towards John Sandford. Only after having put it down did I discover that the book was coauthored. Sandford should stick to his own talent which has brought forth excellent books and quit this nonsense of coauthoring.

This book deserves zero stars. A total waste of money and time.

He sighed, and stood up, headed for the bathroom. The fact was, Davenport had called just as he was adjusting the temperature control. There was nobody else in the shower. Nobody but Virgil, a little drunk, looking up at a showerhead at the Holiday Inn, on a starry night in beautiful downtown Butternut Falls, Minnesota.   &quote;

The shrinks talk about sex, and cops talk about drugs, and liberals talk about fundamentalist religion, and the right-wingers talk about creeping socialism, but what people think of, most of the time, is money. &quote;
