Heat Lightning

By: John Sandford

Narrated by: Eric Conger

Virgil Flowers hunts a killer responsible for a strange string of murders in this thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author John Sandford.

On a hot, humid summer night in Minnesota, Virgil Flowers gets a call from Lucas Davenport. A body has been found near a veterans’ memorial in Stillwater with two shots to the head and a lemon in his mouth—exactly like the body they found two weeks ago.

Working the murders, Flowers becomes convinced that someone is keeping a list—with many more names on it. And when he discovers what connects them all, he’s almost sorry. Because if it’s true, then this whole thing leads down a lot more trails than he thought it did—and every one of them is booby-trapped.©2008 John Sanford; (P)2008 Penguin Audiobooks

Critic reviews

Praise for Heat Lightning

“Sandford returns to Flowers (and more than just a bit of Davenport, too) in Heat Lightning, and the ride’s another wild one.”—Richmond Times-Dispatch

“Features a colorful protagonist quite distinct from Davenport, and contains the usual snappy dialogue and suspenseful action.”—The Tennessean

“A fun, breezy read.”—The Post and Courier

“[A] fast-paced thriller...Flowers is a disarming and sometimes charming investigator. This book will appeal to readers of Sandford’s Prey series as well as fans of adventures like those by Lee Child.”—Library Journal

“Solid...Most readers will enjoy spending time in the company of the genial Flowers.”—Publishers Weekly

“The very last surprise...is a honey.”—Kirkus Reviews

why the music ?

love everything about this book/series except for the random music in between parts
...weird! great story great narrator,love the humor.. love.that fucking Flowers !!

What is up with the music???

I'm not done with the book yet, what I've listened to so far is fine. I just wanted to know who decided to put the random bursts of music in this production?? It is horrible & distracting. I really hope the other books don't have it in it.

Music?

Why did you not use music that went with the t-shirt Virgil was wearing the Nostradamus of the awful sounds you did use?

Another good one by Sandford

I enjoy the Lucas Davenport series and liked the first Virgil Flowers book, so i was looking forward to this one. I guess i just like the way Sandford writes. This was a good book with good narration. Nothing too deep really, just entertaining crime fiction. I think i like the fact that Virgil is the rare fictional cop who doesn't hate life, have a drinking problem or an ex-wife who wants him dead. It's a little refreshing. I'll get the next one in this series for sure.

Excellent

Much better reader this time! Eric Conger fixed his problems from the last book. Yay! Great story! Looking forward to the next one.
