Teenage spree killers wantonly murder anyone in their path. The book is OK but not great....I read the last 1/2 of the book only because I had read the first part and decided to read it through to the end. For a much more chilling story of…

reminiscent of bonnie and clyde, as well as the movie, NATURAL BORN KILLERS, sandford does a good job of detailing the consciousness of the villains, as well as the victims, as well as the media, and the cops./ i'm not sure he would have…

It was a good read. The tale is chronicled from two perspectives - Virgil Flowers on the hunt to stop three young people on a senseless killing spree and the actions of the three killers. It is pretty fast paced as are most of Sandford's…

I doubt the author could make up these plots. I greatly fear they are suggested by actual events then made "colorful" and plot twists added. I know that is what authors are supposed to do-keep those readers interested and on the edge of…

Always a pleasure to spend a day with Virgil Flowers. I had a hard time getting started on this, then I looked at the dedication. Sanford let a friend "co-write" this installment. Once I understood that, I just got on with the story and it…

This won't be for everyone, mad dog killers are not a fun group. How old Virgil goes after them is somewhat original. I am getting the feeling the author doesn't particularly like the Sheriffs/deputies of rural Minnesota.

Partner or no, Sanford and Virgil are at their prime. Ah, poop! How do I add 6 stars?!

Perhaps not the strongest of the series, but the sympathetic portrayal of the loser killers was nicely done. I'm a little curious about the nature of the collaborative writing process mentioned in a note at the beginning of the book. …

The amazing thing about John Sandford is that after more than 30 titles he still retains his edge and almost every book he releases is well-crafted and engrossing. “Mad River” is a perfect example of this. A highly entertaining read.

Because this was a John Sandford book, it was a fast, easy read. But it is not as good as some of his past efforts. With regard to the police and the bad guys and who wins and who loses, Sandford is very cynical. You are reading…

Very entertaining, as usual from this author. The Virgil Flowers character has definitely grown on me, I wasn't too keen on him at first.

Not the strongest in this series but it's always fun to spend some time with Virgil & his buddies.
