From Goodreads. com: Virgil's always been known for having a somewhat active, er, social life, but he's probably not going to be getting too many opportunities for that during his new case. While competing in a fishing tournament in a remote area of northern Minnesota, he gets a call from Lucas Davenport to investigate a murder at a nearby resort, where a woman has been shot while kayaking. The resort is for women only, a place to relax, get fit, recover from plastic surgery, commune with nature, and while it didn't start out to be a place mostly for those with Sapphic inclinations, that's pretty much what it is today.Which makes things all the more complicated for Virgil, because as he begins investigating, he finds a web of connections between the people at the resort, the victim, and some local women, notably a talented country singer. The more he digs, the more he discovers the arrows of suspicion that point in many directions, encompassing a multitude of motivations: jealousy, blackmail, greed, anger, fear. Then he finds that this is not the first murder, that there was a second, seemingly unrelated one, the year before. And that there's about to be a third, definitely related one, any time now.
While the who-done-it wasn't hard to figure out, this book was worth every word with the wry wit expressed by Virgl and one-liners had me chucking out loud. This book also seemed to have less insight into the killers mind than the previous books, which I appreciated. It was becoming a distraction knowing more than the main character.
If you like audio books, the reader does a fabulous job with the voices and made the book fun to listen to. I'm looking forward to book #4: Bad Blood.
