pickAnother fantastic story, one which adds background & depth to some familiar (favorite) characters while introducing new characters that are easy to love:hate. The mystery is, as always, compelling—this time coming with high stakes for Cork O‘Conner. I‘m halfway through the series now & am beyond impressed with how consistently good it is, how well Krueger writes setting and, especially, characters. If you like mysteries, this series is excellent.
pickAnother late night finish—couldn‘t put it down. I feel like I say the same thing every time—but this one was different than the others but still the same. It is interesting to see how the characters develop and grow over time. I love the northern Minnesota location of the books as I lived up there for a couple years. Halfway through the series!
pickAs a security consultant, Cork stumbles across a secret room deep in the mine that contains the remains of six murder victims. Five appear to be nearly half a century old—possibly related to a succession of women who disappeared at that time. Residents called it “The Vanishings”

I need to read all of these books now! Two of the previous books in the series posted here just made me hate the authors so much. Why do you do this to your readers??? Now I can‘t decide which one I should read next, so will have to read them all. The horrible life of a reader who has to make choices 🤣🤣🤣 #SeriesLove2023
pickI wasn‘t in love with the last Cork O‘Connor book for a number of reasons, but I really liked this one. When Cork finds some bodies in an abandoned mine, two cases combine — a new murder and an old serial killer case. We, along with Cork, learn a good deal more about Cork‘s parents. The story moves right along, unlike Heaven‘s Keep, sustaining my interest. Couldn‘t walk today because of thunderstorms.
I only have a couple of hours left in this book, so I should be finished soon. I wanted to walk for 2 miles today, but it was just too hot; I made it for a mile. I might have to start using the indoor track. 😞 #audiowalk
I swam today! It‘s the first time in over a year. I wasn‘t sure what my distance would be — I figured 500 yards, but I was able to swim 1000. 😊 That‘s my rec center at the top left. I can‘t decide if I‘m going to like this book or not. All of Cork‘s family members are gone for one reason or another and I hate seeing him alone. The mystery is interesting though. #audiowalk
Back to the Cork O‘Connor series after a short break. Here the government wants to put a nuclear waste dump in Tamarack County. There are protests and threats. While investigating the threats, Cork discovers six bodies in an abandoned mine. #audiowalk
pickKrueger never disappoints; this book made for a great weekend of reading. I‘m giving it 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 and I‘m on the waiting list for the next book in the series.
I‘ve been in a reading slump lately; I hope this brings me out of it.
Not my home state but Krueger's writing describing Minnesota is reminiscent of my home state of Michigan. I'm transported with every book, and they are mysteries so BONUS! And the covers are lovely! #readjanuary #setinmycity
