pickI picked this up years ago at a thrift store and just got to reading it. Dorothy Molter a is a northern Minnesota legend. Spending over 50 years living on Knife Lake with the help of friends. Great book telling the great story of her life. She sold between 11-12,000 bottles of cold “homemade” root beer every summer. The bottles were rewashed and refilled nightly!

I'm in Minnesota, getting introduced to ex-sheriff Cork and various townsfolk of Aurora and the nearby Anishinaabe reservation. At the beginning of the book, Cork feels he's at rock bottom as his marriage is imploding, his mentor recently died, & Cork has lost his appointment as sheriff. But soon, things get quite a bit worse for him as people in the community die and/or disappear & Cork can't resist investigating. @Cupcake12
pickFrom the moment Sheriff Brody Dern sees the body of Jimmy Quinn, he knows something isn‘t right. Suicide, murder, accident—everyone has a different theory but if it was murder, everyone knows who did it. Or thinks they do… Unraveling the truth of that night will expose secrets, reveal simmering prejudices, & pull in the innocent & not so innocent. Another wonderful story with a fantastic setting & wonderful characters. Krueger never disappoints.
July #bookspin is a favorite author. I love his stand alones the best so have high hopes for this!

Started this today and I just have to say, Krueger always comes with the hook—immediately—that makes the book impossible to put down. Anyway, yeah, it‘s off to a great start.
pickI didn‘t really need to start another book series, especially one that‘s growing and already has numerous installments. Anyway, here I am starting the Cork O‘Connor series with Iron Lake. I was a bit worried for the first half of the book, thinking it was just okay. Disappointingly, I felt underwhelmed by the story. I genuinely enjoyed it by the time I finished reading it, though.

pickThe book begins on Decoration Day in the late 1950s, and the town of Jewel, Minnesota is celebrating. On the banks of the Alabaster River, a body is discovered. The murder reopens old wounds of the townspeople. 4.5⭐️
I am absolutely heart broken. Three children are having the WORST day of their lives today, for WHAT? Two children are orphans. Is this really what people voted for? THIS. IS. NOT. OKAY. 68 other people and organisations are on a hit list by this gunman.
NO. KINGS.
End the madness.

pickI found this for $8 at Indigo years ago and had zero expectations. The cover was eerie and drew me in. Maltman paints an emotional image of small town rural life, struck by tragedy. A father trying to understand his son‘s actions. A pastor‘s wife trying to find her place. A town guided by traditions and keeping secrets. Mixing in folklore and Norse Mythology, Maltman creates a tense story interwoven with mystery and beauty.
