The Devil's Bed
The Devil's Bed | William Kent Krueger
5 posts | 7 read | 6 to read
From the creator of the critically acclaimed, award-winning Cork O'Connor mystery series comes a haunting, atmospheric, conspiracy thriller. When President Clay Dixon's father-in-lawa former vice presidentis injured in a farming accident, First Lady Kate Dixon returns to Minnesota to be at his side. Assigned to protect her, Secret Service agent Bo Thorsen soon falls under Kate's spell. He also suspects the accident is part of a trap set for Kate by David Moses, an escaped mental patient who once loved her. What Bo and Moses don't realize is that they're caught in a web of deadly intrigue spun by a seemingly insignificant bureaucratic department within the federal government. Racing to find answers before an assassin's bullet can kill Kate, Bo soon learns that when you lie down with the devil, there's hell to pay.

While I ended up liking this better than I thought I would, it‘s my least favorite Krueger book. The plot is disjointed, and most of the plot twists are too predictable. There‘s this shadowy group out to assassinate the First Lady of the US, and I never really understood the motivation for it. I do like our hero, Bo Thorson, though, and Krueger gives him a good backstory. #audiowalk

I can‘t say I‘m loving this book so far; it‘s just okay. I went on a pretty long walk today and thought I had finished it. Nope — turned out I was only at 57%! I honestly don‘t know what else there is to say, but clearly there‘s more. I‘ve never experienced this “I really wish it were over” feeling with Krueger before. #audiowalk We are probably in false spring right now; it‘s so beautiful outside!

A William Kent Krueger mystery!! Rather dark and foreboding, this one features Bo Thorsen, who is Secret Service to the First Family. He also makes an appearance in the Cork O‘Connor books.

Wow - this was darker and more intense than I anticipated, having read about 10 of his book in the Corcoran O‘Connor series, but it was hard to put down. A solid ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️+ for this one

Sadly my copy of this is buried, but ... in Kent's standalone thriller, the POTUS Secretary is named for me. #characterwhosharesyourname

Suzze Isn't it fun? I love "my" character in Harlan Coben's Myron Bolitar series! ❤ 8y
