Storm Front by John Sandford

Storm Front by John Sandford, 384 pages.

The seventh installment of Sandford's Virgil Flowers series, but the first book I've read in the series. I was familiar with Flowers through the Lucas Davenport series, but wasn't sure I wanted to start a new series, until now.

The story begins at an archeological dig and the finding of a rare stone, and its subsequent disappearance. It's not long before the action lands smack in the middle of Minnesota - and Flowers' back yard. Lots of characters to keep track of and several biblical references will keep readers on their toes. No one will see the surprise ending coming!
I will definitely be reading the first 6 books in the series!

Off the Grid by: P J Tracy

Off the Grid  by: P J Tracy  pg. 305

This is the sixth Monkeewrench novel by the mother-daughter writing team, Patricia Lambrecht and Tracie Lambrecht.  Grace MacBride and her partners at Monkeewrench Software help the FBI and Minneapolis detectives solve execution-style murders and the kidnapping of young girls.
I have enjoyed the previous Monkeewrench novels more than this one.  This story seemed to have several different story lines, hard to follow.
