Landowner Jimmy Quinn is found floating in the Alabaster River. Sheriff Brody Dern is called in to investigate the murder of Jimmy Quinn. I have read many novels by William Kent Krueger who also wrote the Cork O'Connor novels and I look forward to reading more from him.

Fox Creek: A Novel | William Kent Krueger

pick

#FoxCreek #WilliamKentKrueger #BookSpinBingo

The latest in the New York Times bestselling Cork O‘Connor Mystery Series from the “master storyteller” (Kristin Hannah, #1 New York Times bestselling author) follows Cork in a race against time to save his wife, a mysterious stranger, and an Ojibwe healer from bloodthirsty mercenaries.

Andrew65, TheAromaofBooks

EadieB The ancient Ojibwe healer Henry Meloux has had a vision of his death. As he walks the Northwoods in solitude, he tries to prepare himself peacefully for the end of his long life. But peace is destined to elude him as hunters fill the woods seeking a woman named Dolores Morriseau, a stranger who had come to the healer for shelter and the gift of his wisdom. 2y

EadieB Meloux guides this stranger and his great niece, Cork O‘Connor‘s wife, to safety deep into the Boundary Waters, his home for more than a century. On the last journey he may ever take into this beloved land, Meloux must do his best to outwit the deadly mercenaries who follow. 2y

EadieB Meanwhile, in Aurora, Cork works feverishly to identify the hunters and the reason for their relentless pursuit, but he has little to go on. Desperate, Cork begins tracking the killers but his own skills as a hunter are severely tested by nightfall and a late season snowstorm. He knows only too well that with each passing hour time is running out. 2y

EadieB This is book 19 in the Cork O'Connor series. I have read all the other books and have loved them too. The characters feel so real and the plot is an excellent story to keep the pages turning until the very end. I am now looking forward to the next installment. I am thankful to NetGalley and Atria Books for a copy for an honest review. (edited) 2y

Andrew65 I need to get to this series. 2y

EadieB @Andrew65 Yes you do! 2y

Lightning Strike: A Novel | William Kent Krueger

pick

#LightningStrike #WilliamKentKrueger #20in4 #Readathon #BookSpinBingo

This book is a prequel to the Cork O‘Connor series and takes place in 1963 and Cork is twelve-years-old. Cork‘s father, Liam O‘Connor, is Aurora Minnesota's sheriff and Cork helps his father solve a few murders. I have read and enjoyed Krueger's writing which is excellent throughout the whole series.

EadieB It was a great way to learn more about Cork's father and their father/son relationship. If you enjoy books about the wilderness then you will enjoy this award winning series. 3y

This Tender Land: A Novel | William Kent Krueger

This Tender Land is a lot of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn and a little of

One of my favourite books of 2020. It was a wonderful, emotional rollercoaster of an escape from the madness that has been this year. It‘s well worth the read. I‘ve seen this book compared to Huckleberry Finn, but this is so much better than that. The characters are so loveable. They all have a purpose, warm hearts, and genuine love for each other.

TrishB I loved this too ❤️ 4y

GingerAntics @TrishB the vindictiveness of the black witch was shocking. How deep it ran and the fact she openly admitted to enjoying watching Odie suffer. I can‘t stop thinking about that ending and the big twist (it‘s really multiple little twists isn‘t it?) at the end. (edited) 4y

The ending was so perfect. I did not see the twist at the end, but it was somehow fitting. It explained Odie a bit. I‘m so glad I finally read this book. It‘s one of my favourites from this year.

This Tender Land: A Novel | William Kent Krueger

I was so excited for this book when I first got it, then it ended up sitting on my iPad a while. I really needed some good fiction to break up all the nonfiction and this is absolutely perfect.

Read this in 2015.

This series is so good that I just want to keep devouring these books. I felt so sorry for Cork and his family when Jo went missing. All I know is that I have to start reading the next book very soon in order to see what's going to happen next. No spoilers from me - you must pick up these books and read them for yourself. You will not be disappointed!

What Next: A Memoir Toward World Peace | Walter Mosley

I‘m trying to figure out what to read next. It‘s probably going to be one of these two. The next Harry Potter book starts Monday, or I would just start both. Any votes?

Crazeedi This tender land, excellent 5y

readordierachel I really want to read Dune before the new movie, but it seems like such an undertaking 5y

GingerAntics @readordierachel exactly! I even looked and it doesn‘t really have chapters, just these massive sections, too. 5y
