Another Awesome Jones Gang Story
It's no secret that I'm a big Virgil Jones fan. "Qualms" is a great story with suspense and action that is a trademark of the series.
Foreshadowing is a writing tool that Thomas Scott uses with skill and style. You never know if it results in misdirection or prediction and that's one of my favorite parts about reading these books.

Thanks Again, Thomas Scott !!
Do you know how it feels when you look over a ledge of a cliff and you get a "sinking" feeling in your gut & knees ? That's how I felt when they rushed her to the hospital with two bullet wounds & being unconscious !
At times, I get the feeling that Thomas Scott is just about 3 steps ahead of me ! That's OK, I'll buy the next
book anyway !!
Again, I recommend you read this book !!

Blockbuster
Never before have I ever read a series that captivated me as this did. I saw the scenes and felt the emotions of the characters. I held my breath , laughed, cried and was totally engaged in the human nature portrayed . It would be criminal not to see this converted to film .

Keep them coming!
I own every book in this series and have never regretted buying a single one of them. Not sure how Thomas Scott knocks it out of the park all the time, but he does! If you like fast moving, very little blah, blah blah, then you will like these books! Don't miss out on a great read. Looking forward to the next!!

I LOVE THIS SERIES AND THE CHARACTERS BUT I SWEAR IN THIS ONE VIRGIL NEEDED TO BE BITCH SLAPPED. HE WHINED AND WHINED I WAS AT 20% AND I FELT HE NEEDS TO JUST GET OVER IT. GEEZ! THIS WAS ANOTHER WINNER BUT I TELL YA' MR. SCOTT CAN MAKE YOU BE VERY AFRAID FOR SOME OF THE CHARACTERS. OMG! WHAT A NAIL BITER, I LOVED IT. ;D

As good as it gets
This series gets better and better with each book. The characters grow, deepens and become family. Thank you Mr. Scott for sharing Virgil with us.
