About this listen

William Kent Krueger is a New York Times best-selling author whose popular Cork O’Connor mysteries display an "intimate knowledge of Minnesota’s northern reaches and respect for Native American life" (Publishers Weekly). In Tamarack County, former sheriff Cork O'Connor investigates the disappearance of a retired judge’s wife - and discovers the bloody aftermath of a 20-year-old crime.

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.

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.

Great read!

I really enjoyed this book, but then again I've enjoyed every book I've read by William Kent Krueger.
Living here in northern Minnesota, the stories really come to life and I can picture in my mind the scenery and plots. What I really love is the suspenseful plotlines...they always leave me guessing and wanting more.
This book and its scenes remind me of Lake Vermilion and the drive to Duluth. The characters remind me of people I have met and could therefore get a picture in my mind of all that was taking place. Such wonderful writing! I look forward to starting the next book in the Cork O'Connor series!

Another spellbinding story by William Kruger

My Expectations were wonderfully met by the entangled storylines that converged satisfactorily. I like the way Mr. Krugerrand characters are believable. Just good honest folks.

Riveting

It was difficult to put the book down. There was a hint that Steven will fully recover. Way to leave us wondering.

The story goes on with life’s sweet painful twists

There is violent behavior but not dwelled upon. More attention to how characters react and move on. Great lessons from Annie and Uncle.
