Holy Ghost
Virgil Flowers investigates a miracle--and a murder--in the wickedly entertaining new thriller from the master of "pure reading pleasure" (Booklist)
Pinion, Minnesota: a metropolis of all of seven hundred souls, for which the word "moribund" might have been invented. Nothing ever happened there and nothing ever would--until the mayor of sorts (campaign slogan: "I'll Do What I Can") and a buddy come up with a scheme to put Pinion on the map. They'd heard of a place where a floating image of the Virgin Mary had turned the whole town into a shrine, attracting thousands of pilgrims. And all those pilgrims needed food, shelter, all kinds of crazy things, right? They'd all get rich! What could go wrong?
When the dead body shows up, they find out, and that's only the beginning of their troubles--and Virgil Flowers'--as they are all about to discover all too soon.

Virgil is in full f’n Flower mode! Love this guy. Story is secondary to his unique life perspective!

Virgil Flowers at his best. Great series! Great characters!

I like almost all Virgil flower novels. This one is boring. Hard to get into the story, the characters aren’t compelling, not a fun book. Sorry John! Love your writing and guess everyone writes a dud sometimes. Just don’t become Grisham and make it a regular occurrence.

Basic. If your looking for Robert Parker quality character driven novel, look elsewhere. Scale of 1-10...4. Read Louise Penny instead for award winning cop drama.
