When President Clay Dixon's father-in-law - a former vice president - is injured in a farming accident, First Lady Kate Dixon returns to Minnesota to be at his side. Assigned to protect her, Secret Service agent Bo Thorsen soon falls under Kate's spell. He also suspects the accident is part of a trap set for Kate by David Moses, an escaped mental patient who once loved her. What Bo and Moses don't realize is that they're caught in a web of deadly intrigue spun by a seemingly insignificant bureaucratic department within the federal government. Racing to find answers before an assassin's bullet can kill Kate, Bo soon learns that when you lie down with the devil, there's hell to pay.

Excellent mystery 4.5 stars

If half stars were an option I would give The Devil’s Bed 4.5 stars! Fast paced and very well written; plot twists and excellent character development keeps the story moving along and keeps the reader engaged. I wish William Kent Krueger would continue a series with Bo Thorsen.

Tight deep state mystery

Nice characters, a bit idealized by likable. Good listen. I would listen to others by the author.

Perfectly written to build anticipation.

I just discovered this and was pleasantly surprised at how much I loved this! Jay Snyder made this book come alive, as he always does! Everything was great about this book. I will definitely read more.

Fast paced thriller

Great story and loved the narrator .exciting story and the narrator is fabulous .great voices of characters

Well Written and Well Told

WKK's writing in the Devil's Bed is very good. His Cork Corcoran series... I've listened to them all...are consistently first class for the genre. But two of his novels,
Ordinary Grace and This Tender Land, rise to another, higher level of excellence. WKK is capable of spinning prose into the golden realm of poetry. James Dickey's novel, Deliverance, is similar in this regard.

Just the best

So sorry that this didn’t lead to a series. One of the best mystery thrillers out there, from one of the best storytellers. Enjoy!

fun

Love, William Kent Krueger. this is so different than his other books but enjoyed the listen.

Disappointed

Ive read all the books about Cork OConnor and I loved Ordinary Grace,but this is my first with Bo Thorson.This book seemed like every other political conspiracy book out there and I could not feel the character because he didn’t come to life on the pages for me,sadly.

Fantastic

Plot, characters, and everything about it. Loved it. Drew me in and I could not turn it off.

That there are good people in the world

Dated, but gives one hope in this world that there are good people in this country, even in the white house
