Another Great Addition to an Excellent Series

William Kruger is a tremendously talented author. This book showcases his skill. Presenting both sides of a mystery while maintaining the mystery makes this a book that demands to be read/heard from start to finish. Putting it down even for a short time was next to impossible. Exceptional!

Great Character Development

Each book of this series gets better than the previous.

Worth the credit and time

Another good one!

well written, well narrated. Cork O'Connor - he's the kind of guy that guys wish they were.

Great story

It was interesting from the beginning to the end. I like his characters & their personalities!

Excellent audio

William Kent Krueger audio books always keep you entertained! Only thing is, you sit to long to listen to them! Great stories!

Good, but.....

4th Cork O'conner book I've read, but will take a break in the series after this one. First half of book pretty slow. And while you can pull off the surprise character twist occasionally, to do it every time starts eroding the integrity of the characters and the book itself.

I like this series

Binge-worthy books. Suspenseful with great characters. Makes me want to visit the part of the country where they are set.

Excellent!!

This is the third Krueger book I have listened to. The first was quite good, the second better, and this one is great. Talk about suspense! Then, just as I think I have most of the plot figured out, he throws in a twist which changes the flavor of the story. David Chandler is a fantastic narrator. I can listen to him for hours and have.
I very much enjoy the mysticism and religion of the indigenous people. If there is one thing humans should worship, it is our ONLY home, grandmother earth. Probably should learn to live harmoniously here, there is no place else to go.
The characters in these books are pretty much as real as fictional characters can be. Krueger is a master of showing the amazingly good and the sickeningly bad things people are capable of. Acts of heroism, acts of depravity.
Overall, one of my favorite series, I will read them all.

Enjoying These Stories

Another good mystery that is more enjoyable with its setting in northern Minnesota and its interactions with the Anishinabe culture.

Listened to this book non-stop

Have just finished listening to Iron Lake, Boundary Waters and Purgatory Ridge and avoided all other activity to hear these incredibly fast-moving, never-know-what-to-expect stories! William Kent Krueger’s books are fascinating. I have also read This Tender Land and Ordinary Grace and found them equally interesting. Thank you, Mr. Krueger!
