Book: Shock Wave by John Sandford

Another Sandford novel.

I love the way this writer does dialogue and characters. I love the Up North milieu (for the most part). The plots are varied and Sandford researches enough so they are credible (sort of and most of the time).

This book is about a Walmart-type chain with a proposed new store in a small Minnesota town. But, deadly bombings begin, targeted against Pye Mart. That's the main story, but I also was drawn to the concomitant threads of how a Pye Mart will affect the  established local businesses, of selected details in the lives of those who live in small Midwest towns, of the interactions between law enforcement agencies.

Sandford's books are just plain entertaining.

Hardcover at your local library or the paperback edition at bookstores and airports, etc.
