On a late autumn Sunday in Southern Minnesota, a farmer is bludgeoned around the head by a teenager wielding a bat. Following the teenager’s apparent suicide, Sheriff Lee Coakley is worried that she is up against a far more complicated case than she first thought, and calls in investigator Virgil Flowers. It doesn't take long for Flowers to uncover a series of crimes so monstrous that the small town can never be the same again.

When building a story about child abuse, the author uses great tact but tell things the way they are.
Brilliant read and very moving.

Great story, well told

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

No. It was too complicated. Mostly it was dialogue rather than action. Totally addicted to the prey series by Sandford. This felt like a different author. Some books don't translate well to audio.

Has Bad Blood turned you off from other books in this genre?

No. I still look for crime and violence!

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

Yes, although my wife thought he sounded drunk! I thought he was good and matched the story

Do you think Bad Blood needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Yes, so that sandford can redeem himself!

Any additional comments?

Flowers is a believable character, but there wasn't the tension and suspense I've got used to in the prey series with Lucas Davenport.

bad blood - disappointing
