Another fabulous Cork O’Connor

I loved everything about the book. The only thing I thought was a little funny was when the narrator try to talk like the character with a speech impediment. I realize there was a reason for it, but it made me giggle.

Great Story

A very entertaining book with some real twists and great characters. Kept my attention the whole way through

Insightful look into life in Minnesota

A wonderful storyteller, loving glimpse into indigent people as well as other citizens of small town Minnesota life. Recommend his books.

Missed 5 stars because of narration.

Another fabulous chapter in the O’Connor Clan’s lives.
The storyline was solid, I thought, and the writing done very well. The dialogue is written realistically, just as people speak.
The problem is the narrator. He speaks so slowly, and seems to try and make every sentence a thing of great substance. This is especially true at the end of chapters.
If the narration is sped up, it’s tolerable. But nothing makes the dialogue tolerable from the characters. As I said, the dialogue is written with realism, but the narrator makes simple sentences by the characters sound snarky, and juvenile.
Seriously poor.
And pug-leeze! The word guillotine is NOT pronounced “gill a tine”, it’s pronounced “Geyatine”!
Hearing a common word like this while listening is head-shakingly disruptive. This is just one shocking example, there are many more. And when commonplace Spanish words are in the story, pronunciation butchery commences.
It would serve the author well to find another narrator, or at least insist that a producer edits the narration before publishing.

Nothin better

Another great William Kent Krueger O’Conner series book! They never disappoint for a great read!
