Great Story

A very entertaining book with some real twists and great characters. Kept my attention the whole way through

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.

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.

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!

This was a really good one!

I loved the story, the continued character development and the narration!! Thank you to the author!

Nothin better

Another great William Kent Krueger O’Conner series book! They never disappoint for a great read!

Good but not great

I've enjoyed this series, but lately the books are not as exceptional. Case in point, Cork's children are older but there is no real character development; a teen age boy who is interested in girls - big surprise, a daughter who adopted a baby - wonderful but what about her career & social life and another daughter who is studying to become a nun but just realizes that she is gay when she is twenty something???. Then Cork is involved with a woman for years but he's not sure if it's serious so he jumps in bed with the first attractive woman he meets - not what we would expect from a mature father & grandfather in a small town. While a well written murder mystery is important, an interesting cast of believable characters are what drive me to read book after book in a series. I was disappointed when the book ended and I didn't learn anything new about the O'Connor family.

My favorite author

I love the character development, the philosophy, and the way he incorporates the Indian way of life. His works are heavy with content. He easily explains past events for readers who may not have read all of his books.
All I can say is please write more!

A Great Listen

This one was one of my favorite ones in this series. This one kept me on the edge of my seat, all the way to the end
