    • 5/5
      This whole series is great! I'm hooked on it! Till the end.
    • 5/5
      William Kent Krueger has brought to us another winner in this book. I love when Cork O'Conner has obstacles that come into his life and he is able to show us how to overcome them. These characters feel so real that the reader can actually feel everything they are going through. In this book, Annie, one of Cork's daughters, arrives home from the nunnery early for a Christmas break. She is really troubled and Cork is trying to find out what is going on in her life. His son, Stephen, has a new girlfriend and is helping them with problems that have come into their lives. When Stephen's life end up hanging in the balance, Cork is somewhat beside himself. While trying to cope with all of this, Henry, Cork's spiritual Indian friend, shows up and comforts him. There are other plots running through the book but these are the ones that really kept me wanting more of the story. If you haven't started this series, I suggest you do, but you need to start with the first book in order to get the background of these characters. I'm anxiously looking forward to reading the next book in order to see how all these situations have panned out for the future of these characters. I would highly recommend reading this series to those who love mystery thrillers that help you cope with life's problems.
    • 5/5
      Another engaging installment in the Cork O'Conner mysteries. As Cork hunts a murderer, the murderer tries to exact revenge on Cork's family.
    • 4/5
      Yet another solid entry I the Cork O'Connor series. At this point I appreciate the family and character development far more than the mystery of each novel, and this book continues that theme for me. The mystery in this book was solid, but it was not done in a way that the reader could figure out. I think like most book series that make it this far along, the mysteries were better earlier on, but I simply love returning to this world and will keep on reading.
    • 5/5
      Sometimes books have characters that are simply evil. I would say that about this book. That is the backdrop for Cork and his family to wrestle with many love interests. With the underlying theme of the great mystery and everyone have a purpose and destiny it suggest that free will is a t least partly an illusion. The wintery weather of northern Minnesota is well captured.
    • 4/5
      Working through this series I am in awe of how well William Kent Krueger weaves enthralling stories that hook you from the first page. An amazing writer who never disappoints
    • 4/5
      I have been reading this series in order. This is the 13th and I am still enjoying them. Cork, who twice served as sheriff of Tamarack County, is now a PI and called in to help the police with the mysterious disappearance of a crotchety judge’s wife. The readers learn in the first few pages that she has been murdered but this is not discovered by Cork and the police until much later in the book. The reason for the disappearance (murder) traces back to a 20 year old unjust conviction and a jailhouse conversion. In the meantime, violence once again touches Cork’s family. What do I like about the series? The sense of place in Minnesota’s Northwoods. Cork’s fallibility. The evolving family dynamics. The plots are always good.
    • 5/5
      Called in to assist a search-and-rescue team looking for the wife of a retired local judge, Cork O'Connor notices small, disturbing details about her disappearance. And when the beloved pet dog of a friend is found decapitated, he detects a startling pattern of ominous incidents. Then Cork's son is nearly killed, and Cork knows that someone is spinning a deadly web in Tamarack County. At the center is a murder more than twenty years old for which an innocent man may have been convicted. Cork remembers the case only too well. He was the deputy in charge of the investigation that sent the man to prison.
    • 5/5
      I think I have read all of Krueger's books and I have not been disappointed.I enjoy meeting the characters many times over. I enjoy 'Tamarack County' as asense of place. I like the suspense, the mystery. I like his scenes of winter and canfeel the coldness, the frigid air. He writes about emotions and events that are a partof everyday life. His inclusion of the Ojibway has given me many insights into a groupI might otherwise have no impression of. (somewhat akin to Tony Hillerman's books)I eagerly await this author's stories.
    • 4/5
      Excellent series featuring Ojibwe culture, morals and mores set in the, seemingly, always wintry Arrowhead Region of Minnesota. The O'Connor's star-crossed family takes a few more hits, more mental than physical, as Cork's history in law enforcement continues to bedevil them. Thin but strong skein of connective issues cause an explosion of violence and relationship strains which resolution thereof makes for an interesting entry in this series.
    • 4/5
      I like his books - well written and interesting because of the Indian folklore. Maybe a bit too much religious stuff. I cannot believe how much stuff these people have survived - a bit ridiculous but I suppose it is a novel.
    • 5/5
      Might be one of Krueger's best Cork O'Connor stories. Clever plot twists, unexpected developments, and surprises right up to the end. Subplots were beautifully weaved into the story, involving two of his three children dramatically, but all tied into the main plot and resolved nicely by story's end. A must read for WKK fans.
    • 5/5
      My attention was piqued as soon as I saw the book cover with the vehicle driving down a snow covered road and guarded by tall pines, on the way to something mysterious.The story has two mysteries. In one, a powerful judge's wife disappears and her car is found abandoned in a snow drift. The judge is disliked and arrogant when questioned. Could he be involved? There is evidence that must be explored.In the other mystery, someone tries to harm Cork O'Connor's son, Stephen. Cork is the former sheriff, now a PI and someone practically runs Stephen and his girlfriend off the road onto an icy lake and it is a life or death situation.When someone kills the dog that Stephen's girlfriend and her mother were minding for a relative who was due to be released from jail, Cork begins to see a pattern.The setting is just before Christmas in rural Minnesota in an area by an Indian Reservation. Cork is part Ojibwe and we learn of Indian traditions and spirituality. We are also given Christian spirituality and beliefs as Cork's daughter considers life as a nun.The characters are unique and wonderful and the story outstanding.
    • 5/5
      Loved this book. Cork O'Connor is an excellent character. Glad there are more of these books in the series that I haven't read yet!
    • 4/5
      I am already dreading the day that Henry Meloux is not longer part of this series, he adds such a welcome touch of Indian lore and mysticism. As always a big part of this series is Cork and his family, in this one both Stephen, Cork and Anne are dealing with a moral crisis that they must work their way through. Vivid setting in Northern setting, one feels the cold when these books are set in the winter, as this one was. Such a dependable series, the plots are always interesting and entwined with the family and Indian spirituality this is a series I always look forward to. Krueger is such a wonderful writer.
