Review 1: Heat Lightning – A Virgil Flowers Novel Book 2 by Pamela Donaldson

Flower power

One thing I’ve learned about book series that are very chronological like both the Davenport and Flowers series, is that once one gets hooked, the easiest thing to do is just start at the beginning and go to the end. Some of the series are better than others, but I just look at them as one long story with different chapters.
This Flowers book was well written well enough, the plot was interesting enough, convoluted enough to keep me interested, as have most of the Davenport books. There are spots which could use editing, but as I said, I’m just reading them all. And enjoying the easy ride. Flowers is somewhat like Lucas in his doggedness, and self confidence, but comes from a different and more contemplative POV. The interaction between Davenport and Flowers, from the inception of the Flowers series doesn’t really add much in a literary sense, but I think most fans will like their connection.
I gave a well-deserved scathing review of Conger’s narration in the first Flowers novel. I am happy to say that he has improved greatly since then. This time, while he made no real aural distinction between characters, he was much more expressive, slowed down, and yes! fully enunciated the majority of the words. Now, I can look forward to reading the rest of the series.

Review 2: Heat Lightning – A Virgil Flowers Novel Book 2 by Ted

Crisp Story – Irritating Muaic

Eric Conger is invisible as a reader. Which is EXACTLY right. You simply don’t notice how good he is and thta means he creates crystal clear window into another perfectly worked John Sandford creation. Virgil Flowers IS NOT Lucas Davenport lite. Davenport, of course, is Sandford’s darkly complex mid-western cop… whose complexities sometimes intrude into the narrative a tad too much. Not so Flowers… But I gotta admit I like the way women have their way with him and vice versa. Heat Lighting’s a surprising story. And that’s what I want in a thriller – surprises. But… but… what’s the story on that annoying music that seems to spontaneously interrupt the flow of this story? It’s weirdly distracting. Some self-indulgent producer’s intruded here. Hope s/he goes away in the next Davenport novel which I cannot wait to listen to.

Review 3: Heat Lightning – A Virgil Flowers Novel Book 2 by James Hilton

One of John Sandfords best

I have listened to a few other of John Standford’s books and this is the best one I have heard so far. It has it all with a great deal of suspense that kept me trying to figure out who was the killer and I was not sure until the end of the book. There was plenty of action as well with the different murders and Virgil’s always interesting personal life intertwined into it too. All of this and excellent narrating by Eric Conger made this a very enjoyable listen.
