William Kent Krueger's Cork O'Connor series is not your usual police drama.

Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2020

William Kent Krueger's fabulous Cork O’Connor series is definitely a step up from most offerings in the genre of police/deceive stories. Cork, who is part Native American, living in northern MN with his family, was the sheriff, then not, then again, but always in the center of any troubles in his county. Those troubles are not run of the mill murders, but intertwined and intriguing mysteries.
William Kent Krueger is an author who is in my top ten and his writing spans other genres. "This Tender Land," for example is an absolute treasure, one I’ve gifted to many friends.

Boring

Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2022

Do you like reading about ignorant, rude ,self-centered kids who think they deserve a medal for making it through a day? No? Me neither. But I did endure 71% of this boring novel. I have enjoyed many of the author's other efforts.

Enjoying the Trip!

I love all of William Kent Krueger books, but have to say so far this is one of my favorites. I love how in this book he has so many things going on that keep you charged and in turn makes you want to plow on reading to see what happens. This book is a continuation of the previous book where the main character Cork finds himself in a barrel of trouble and then add in a few more characters and another side plot, that is what makes this book so interesting and suspenseful. His characters have depth and are very original in all of his books, some characters are regulars and I look forward to them and have come to know and love them. Books like this make me hopeful at some point they are taken to the big screen as this would make a fantastic movie. If you haven't read any of Krueger's books do yourself a favor and pick up his first "Iron Lake" and join in on the fun. I haven't read at a pace like this for years, perhaps since a kid, and have enjoyed the trip immensely so far!!

This author takes me to areas of the country I have never seen. Before I go to bed, my evening routine includes a mental journey to the northern climes with his characters. I feel as though I’m right there with them in the beautiful landscape and it’s hard to put the book down to get some sleep. All his books are full of characters which seem almost real. I plan to read all the books in this series.

Great Great Series

I love all the Cork O'Connor books. The mysteries are so well written and Cork is such an anti-hero and the weaving into the story his American Indian background and those characters that come from that side of his heritage is just so compelling. This is a wonderful series and there isn't one book in the series that I haven't loved and even cried when it ended. His children, his sister-in-law and her husband and most importantly his wife are just characters that come out of the page. Read this series.

A page turning thriller you just can’t put down

Krueger does it again continuing his Cork O’Conner mysteries. This time Cork is chased by professional hit men and wanted by the law. Cork hides at his cousin’ upper pensulia Michigan tourist camp healing his wounds while getting involved with local mysteries. Another pager turner that will keep you awake if you read before going to sleep as I do. Be warned, it is a complicated story that tests Cork’s skills and resolve. Krueger tells the tale masterfully while introducing you to some new characters.

If you liked the first five in the series, you will not be disappointed in the sixth. It is a novel set in the North with a lot of action, a lot of emotion, and a logical plot with several twists.

Cork is a great character excellently presented and developed by a wonderful writer

I have been following William Kent Krueger's Cork O'Connor series from the volume one. Cork is a great character excellently presented and developed by a wonderful writer. Krueger's ability to describe the challenging climates of Minnesota and other locations his characters travel to puts you there and has you going to your closet to find the proper attire. Great author, Great Series.

Great book!

I like all of the books in this series, but this one is really great. A suggestion for those of you considering Cork O'Conner mysteries: Read them in order. You can find out online when they were written, and they will be much more meaningful if they are read in order. The story of his family continues, along with the books. Great series!! Recommended to me by a librarian, and I'm so glad she suggested them.
