Cork O'Connor Mysteries, Book 21

By: William Kent Krueger

Narrated by: David Chandler

The New York Times bestselling Cork O’Connor Mystery series—a “master class in suspense and atmospheric storytelling” (The Real Book Spy)—continues with Cork O’Connor revisiting a case from his past and confronting mysterious deaths in the present.

A few nights before Halloween, as Cork O’Connor gloomily ruminates on his upcoming birthday, he receives a call from his son, Stephen, who is working for a nonprofit dedicated to securing freedom for unjustly incarcerated inmates. Stephen tells his father that decades ago, as the newly elected sheriff of Tamarack County, Cork was responsible for sending an Ojibwe man named Axel Boshey to prison for a brutal murder that Stephen is certain he did not commit.

Cork feels compelled to reinvestigate the crime, but that is easier said than done. Not only is it a closed case but Axel Boshey is, inexplicably, refusing to help. The deeper Cork digs, the clearer it becomes that there are those in Tamarack County who are willing once again to commit murder to keep him from finding the truth.

At the same time, Cork’s seven-year-old grandson has his own theory about the investigation: the Windigo, that mythic cannibal ogre, has come to Tamarack County … and it won’t leave until it has sated its hunger for human blood.

Another great listen!

Great story with solid performance.
Looking forward to the next book with this known cast of characters. They feel like part of my family.

This whole series is great

I have listened to all the Cork O’Connor books and love all of them. This one did not disappoint!

Keeping my attention

One of my favorite authors, I enjoyed the storyline and trying to figure out who did what. This narrator is also one of my favorites. He does a fantastic job.

Krueger has done it again

This Cork story doesn’t have the action some have had, but the impeccable police procedural and family involvement are still here. I loved being part of their world once again.

unexpected twists

Enjoy this entire series. Have read them all some twice. look forward to the next one! Hope its soon!
