After correspondence with the author, decided to read the series in order. Bought Book 1 Iron Lake at will read Fox Creek in its proper order in the sequence. I read enough to know I’ll love the series.

Krueger’s Cork O’Connor series is best when Minnesota wilderness and Henry Meloux are focal points of the story. Krueger writes with a humanity rarely found in mystery novelists. This one is very, very good. 4.5 stars and highly recommended.

Another excellent story from William Kent Krueger. The book is a real page-turner, told in a clear and suspenseful manner from the varying vantage points of the principal characters. The skeletal elements of the story are not particularly new or unique, but that does not detract from the suspense or the mystery. As is typical in Krueger novels, he weaves elements of Native spirituality and culture into the story very well, and a theme of redemption, found in some other Krueger works, is strongly present here, as well. Another positive aspect of the book is the development and evolution of his characters, who grow, mature and gain wisdom and insight from their experiences in prior Krueger novels. I can't get enough of Krueger's Cork series and now sadly I must wait.
