pickThis one finds Cork O‘Conner traveling to Arizona after his new wife gets a frantic call from her son. What they find are secrets & lies, a porous border where trouble between drug cartels, vigilante border patrol groups & those trying to keep a low profile as they help undocumented immigrants is brewing, & a past that Cork‘s wife would have preferred to forget about. Solid, although not my fav in the series, story & a good read.
Managed to go a week or two without reading a Cork O‘Conner book. I‘m almost caught up on the series so trying to take my time with the last few…
pickWhile I mostly liked this book, it did get a little repetitive. There was also one instance where Cork didn‘t act quite right given the situation. I found it difficult to believe that neither the sheriff nor Cork‘s enemies noticed it. It could have changed the course of the events if they had. #audiowalk
It was so pretty outside today but still a little chilly. I didn‘t walk as far as I did yesterday so I didn‘t get as far in the book. It‘s weird to read one where Cork‘s kids barely show up. #audiowalk
It‘s been awhile since I‘ve listened to a Cork O‘Connor novel, so this next in the series for me is my new #audiowalk book. I did a lot of walking and driving today, so I‘m almost halfway through already. It‘s nice to be back in Cork‘s world even though we‘re in Arizona for this one instead of Minnesota.
pick#16 in the Cork O‘Connor series finds Cork and Rainey at the southern US border trying to rescue Rainey‘s son from previous partner. This was a unique chapter of the Cork saga, and I missed the Canada and Northern Minnesota mystique.

pickAnother great book; this was written from a 1st-person perspective by the protagonist so it had a different feel from other books. A solid 4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for this one.
Next book I‘ll be reading. I‘m so thankful for libraries that lend Kindle books. 📚📖
I somehow missed this book in the series and remedied that today. I recently saw Kent at a talk for his newest book and he talked a bit about this one, too. Lots of great quotes but this one will stick with me a long time.: “when you act out of fear, you risk becoming exactly the kind of monster you‘re trying to bar the door against.”
The opposite of love is always fear. I know that to be true. Where I fall short is remembering to imagine the best of what might be. I tend to lean more toward catastrophizing. 😀❤️
so-soI only knew Krueger from reading Ordinary Grace which I liked a lot. Didn‘t know he had a very long series of mysteries starring Cork O‘Connor (say that 5 Times fast!). I appreciate that Krueger dealt with the issue of the border wall and the myriad number of issues associated with that. Apparently he‘s taken flak for it. However, I wasn‘t as impressed with the telling of the story. If you‘re already a fan of the series chances are you‘d like it.
I always recommend reading William Kent Krueger for a true picture of life in the US Midwest. Now, retired cop Cork O'Connor heads to Arizona to find his missing step-son, and Krueger's story-telling strikes me as just as authentic & complex at the southern border. #MeaningfulQuote #NewYearReads

pickI have only read a few of William Kent Krueger's Cork O'Connor mysteries so I cannot judge how this compares to the others in this series, but I enjoyed the fast moving story of this particular one. I thought this novel captures very well the feel of place. It explores the conflicting opinions of those living along the United States/Mexican Border and real life choices they are asked to make.

I'm home sick today so started and finished this. One of my favorite authors.
pickA fantastic addition and a 5 Star for me. Kent‘s had a lot of flack and some who have refused to read his books again after this just because he dared to discuss immigration in a mystery! Full review in my blog http://scrappymags.com/2017/10/28/book-review-sulfer-springs-by-william-kent-kru...
Just attended an author event at The Mystery Lover's Independent Bookstore in Oakmont, Pennsylvania, with William Kent Krueger talking about his newest book, Sulfur Springs, and his writing He is animated, personable, and very charismatic. Totally enjoyed the hour. Thank you.
I usually read WKK's newest Cork book the day it is released but my garden produce has kept me from it! Finished the last batch of tomato sauce today, so it's time to read! #SeptemberMostAnticipated #FallIntoBooks
pickExcellent addition to the series. Cork O'Connor and his wife are drawn to southern Arizona when her son is in trouble. Seeing the southwest through their eyes was powerful and I appreciated the way Krueger handled contemporary issues such as immigration and drug smuggling. Krueger us an outstanding writer.
