State of Exile

Virgil Jones Mystery Thriller Series, Book 5

De: Thomas Scott

Narrado por: Daniel Dorse

Indiana's Major Crimes Unit Detective Virgil Jones knew it would come back on them one day. He just didn’t think it would happen quite so soon....

When Immigrations and Customs Enforcement Agent Chris Dobson goes after one of Virgil's own, he does so in a horrific manner, one that leaves Virgil and his wife, Sandy, in shock and exiles two of their best friends at a time when they need them the most....

Virgil's life is in a state of chaos. He's managing a new family, a bar he owns with his best friends, he’s trying to unload 2,000 acres of inherited farmland in Shelby County without giving up the mineral rights, and he is working both for and against the head of the MCU, Ron Miles. But something else is happening as well: He feels as if his mind is not his own and the turmoil and confusion have placed him at a crossroads....

Three months ago, Virgil rescued a young woman, Patty Doyle, from certain death. As a result, Patty and her uncle, Rick Said, show their gratitude by using Virgil’s Shelby County farmland as a test bed for their new natural gas extraction method, one that Virgil hopes will free him and his family from a major burden in their lives. But while extracting core samples for testing, Patty is once again forced to face her demons, all while making a discovery that will either save Virgil financially, or ruin him once and for all....

But Patty’s discovery brings pure evil to light, and Dobson's thirst for revenge put forces in motion that change everything. And when it does, not only does Virgil once again find himself and those he loves at the very center of terror, he makes an unexpected and perilous decision, one that will ultimately change his life forever, because for Virgil, all crossroads lead back to Shelby County.

Oh my goodness! So Good!

lol I said at the beginning of my review for book 4 that I thought it was the best so far, well it might have been but this one is even better! There is so much that happens with our characters especially Jonesy, and Wheeler! We have some new characters and some previous ones come back for an all star performance. You won't know what is going to happen next and you won't believe some of the things that Virgil does! I loved it and can't wait for the next book. I've gotten so used to listening to Mr. Dorse now it will be a shock to hear someone else I've gotten so used to how he throws the humor in beautifully or bring me to tears.
I received a free code for this book from Audiobooks Unleashed to listen to on Audible. This review is my own honest opinion.

great

A tangled web of corruption with cover ups galore. I loved seeing the rich entitled get what they deserve and not above the law of the people. I liked when all the pieces fell into place and the rats were trapped. Great action, drama, and suspense. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job bringing it to life.

Intriguing

Federal ICE agent, Dobson main character, now he has been contacted by Salter, to do what Salter wants. They were friends in school, and Salter felt he could rely on him, his father, he knew was corrupt and evil. Knowing this he still did what ever his father bid him.to do.
Then comes the plot and dealing with many people, and getting natural gas out of the ground that is on a farm land, mishaps happen and revenge comes into play. How this plays out makes an intriguing story. The narration by Daniel Dorse added. Given ARC audio for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

Time to haul out my Prayer Review

This may appear again now and then. Adding Thomas Scott to the list. I also have to mention Daniel Dorse who is perfect for this series.

Dear God: Please let this man write another book soon and please let me be here to listen to it. I can't say something like 'even his worst book is good' because I can't think of anything he's done that is worse than anything else.

Before I post this list I have to say that Sandford, Parker and MacDonald are EXTRA special. And Richard Ferrone as John Sandford's voice was an amazing match. Like George Guidall with Craig Johnson and pretty much anything George reads.

Robert B. Parker lived in this space for me as did John D. MacDonald, Michael Connelly, Robert Crais, John Hart, Craig Johnson, John Lescroart, William Kent Krueger Ridley Pearson ,Jonathan Kellerman and now Thomas L. Scott. Some others are really good but these guys have something special. If you are into mystery-thrillers I just gave you a back catalog I wish I could have...but I HAVE had it and it is an incredible treasure. I stopped going to libraries just so I can encourage these guys by sending them money. Please enjoy.

P.S. Maybe if enough people read this and buy these books they'll go back to recording them after State of Genesis.
