About this listen

"One of today's automatic buy-today-read-tonight series...thoughtful but suspenseful, fast but lasting, contemporary but strangely timeless." (Lee Child)

In the extraordinary new Cork O'Connor thriller from New York Times best-selling and Edgar Award-winning author William Kent Krueger, the lives of hundreds of innocent people are at stake when Cork vanishes just days before his daughter's wedding.

Since the violent deaths of his wife, father, and best friend all occurred in previous Novembers, Cork O'Connor has always considered it to be the cruelest of months. Yet his daughter has chosen this dismal time of year in which to marry, and Cork is understandably uneasy. His concern comes to a head when a man camping in Minnesota's Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness goes missing. As the official search ends with no recovery in sight, Cork is asked by the man's family to stay on the case. Although the wedding is fast approaching and the weather looks threatening, he accepts and returns to that vast wilderness on his own.

As the sky darkens and the days pass, Cork's family anxiously awaits his return. Finally certain that something has gone terribly wrong, they fly by floatplane to the lake where the missing man was last seen. Locating Cork's campsite, they find no sign of their father. They do find blood, however. A lot of it.

With an early winter storm on the horizon, it's a race against time as Cork's family struggles to uncover the mystery behind these disappearances. Little do they know, not only is Cork's life on the line, but so are the lives of hundreds of others.

A taut, suspenseful thriller, Manitou Canyon features everything readers love in a Cork O'Connor novel: a dramatic Northwoods setting, an intriguing view of the Ojibwe culture, an enigmatic crime, masterful storytelling, and more than a few surprises.

on to Canada

In this book we find Cork drawn into a mystery that takes place in the Boundary Waters and even takes Cork and crew into Canada. There is a bit of everything, a kidnapping, some Natives trying to right some old wrongs and not caring who gets hurt, some romance, some mixing of the cultures, all the typical things you find in a Cork O'Connor story.

Good story

I would have given 5 stars but the way too numerous “Indian to English “ translations became a major distraction about half way through. A good story,though and an excellent performance.

More great challenge at the Boundary Waters

Intriguing cultural weave between an old neighbor of Cork’s, the struggle of Native culture in the desires and needs of modern man, nature, and the will of Spirit. Who wins?

Reading not to my tastes

While I have read all of William Kent Krueger's books this is the first one I have listened to. I was disappointed with the readers style. I thought his reading of the book droned on. Too slow for the suspense of the story for my tastes. William Kent Krueger is one of my favorite authors so I stuck with the audio version.

Another great Story

Once again William Kent Krueger has written an engaging story with twists and turns. David Chandler is an engaging narrator.

ONE OF MY FAVORITES

I wish this series would never end. Manitou Canyon grabbed me from the very start. The thread of it was easy to follow with it jumping from one “scene” to the other. Sometimes I get lost when stories go like this but never with William Kent Krueger. This was one of my favorite Cork O’Conner books.
