Anthony Award-winning author William Kent Krueger crafts this riveting tale about a small Minnesota town’s ex-sheriff who is having trouble retiring his badge. Cork O’Connor loses his job after being blamed for a tragedy on the local Anishinaabe Indian reservation. But he must set aside his personal demons when a young boy goes missing on the same day a judge commits suicide—and no one but O’Connor suspects foul play.

Finding Krueger and his large collection of Cork novels I feel like I've found long lost CJ Box stories. Both involve rural outdoors and a straight arrow hero with a family. Just enough differences in the two (Joe and Cork) to make all the books interesting.
Who came first - Wm Krueger or CJ Box ???

From a more critical point of view, Krueger's plot in Iron Lake might have been a bit over extended. There were a lot of characters and sub-plots that didn't add much, if anything, to the story. Are some of them going to play roles in later books? I don't know. But, I'd like to give the author a little slack in the first book in his series and move on to the next one. In my experience, the good authors usually get better with experience (probably because they get better editors who polish the work). I hope that will be the case in later Cork O'Connor stories.
The narrator, David Chandler, did a great job. I almost did notice he was there and I could usually identify the character by the sound of his voice.
In any event, I will purchase the next book in the series right after I submit this review. I suppose that best expresses my feelings toward this one.
Is this gonna be a good series, or what?

A pretty good narrator, though.

Totally enjoyable

The real problem was the acting choices. This narrator has a habit in books where I’ve heard him saying dialog in a snarky tone. There is a limited place for this at times, but he does it with every character so that no matter how well written the dialog, or no matter how likable or pleasant the character, I can tend to dislike that character because of the amateur theatre performance.
It’s really a shame that there is no direction for the narrator within the studio by a producer or director. No matter the profession and accomplishment of an individual, there is always room for growth and improvement. This same narrator is the voice for the C.J.Box novels, and he clearly has not grown as an actor.
In an audible book, the narrator has the power to make or break the hard work of an author. It’s a shame when an author’s work can be diminished this way.
I still recommend the book. The storyline, characters, locale, and haunting descriptors make for an enjoyable escape. I will search for more titles by the author, but may read instead of listen if its the same narrator.
Haunting Story, amateur narration.
