Here's what readers are saying about Thomas Scott and the Virgil Jones Mystery Series:

A Terrific Book!!!!
I have read all of the Virgil Jones series. This is the best yet! Thomas Scott has done a wonderful job of developing Virgil Jones and all the "regulars" of his series. Although they do not have to be read in order, I would recommend that to any new reader of this series.

Riveting and Satisfying Read!
Scott is a master. I struggle even to blink, I get so absorbed. As good as his plots are, what impresses me most is the way he develops characters so well that I feel like I know and love them. I am an avid novel reader, loving the likes of Baldacci, Berry, Box, Coben, Cussler, Craig Johnson, and on it goes. But I must say that Thomas Scott is right up there as one of these favorites. I can hardly wait for his next novel!!

Must read whole series!
Start at the beginning of the series. I couldn't stop after the 1st book. The characters are interesting & fun & you get the sense that you know these people or want to. The stories are well written, & flow from one thing to the next. Download all of them, you won't be sorry!

Thomas Scott is one of my favorite authors.
My preferred genre is mystery, thriller, suspense and if the book is part of a series, I am even happier. I could be writing a 5 star review over and over for each of the Virgil Jones series of books. I congratulate the author for delivering yet another very entertaining story.
