pickAnd…as usual, I couldn‘t put it down. Another great installment in which Krueger once again demonstrates he‘s exceptionally good at writing setting and character. Only six more books until I‘m all got up on the series. I keep telling myself I need to slow down but it‘s not working…😬😂
Rainy day today…perfect for staying inside with a good book…
pickOne of the real joys of reading this series is the attention Krueger pays to characters. The lead, Cork O‘Conner is fantastic but so too is his family which features prominently in all of these books. Never more so than in this one which has Cork trying to solve a murder & the same time one of his children is navigating a difficult decision. Another excellent installment which shows how complex it is to be human & care for others.
pickA delightful, charming book about a man who has an accident that upends his life, which compels Virgil to forge a new and circuitous path to a changed existence. It all takes place in a small dying midwestern town with several endearing quirky characters. It‘s funny and hopeful. Engaging, entertaining, old fashioned storytelling.
pickLong held secrets intrude on the present in yet another excellent Cork O‘Conner mystery. Cork & his former best friend Jubal go into the mountains to hunt. When the day is over, Cork comes down by himself having watched his friend die, shot through the heart with an arrow…that looks just like one of Cork‘s. Being at the top of the suspect list means Cork has to figure out why someone is trying to frame him for the murder. Excellent.
Attended a fantastic author talk this evening with a friend. It featured William Kent Krueger talking about his tagged book which was selected for the local One Book One Community read this year.
I haven‘t had a chance to read this book yet, but his talk was wonderful. He also discussed his writing process and the power of stories. If you like his books and have the opportunity to see him speak in person I highly recommend it.
pickA novel that has lots of Indigenous lore sprinkled throughout it. The characters are mostly good people with a number of villains added to flesh out the story. The setting is the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. If you are a fan of William Kent Krueger and his novels, this is one you won‘t want to miss. 4.5/5
I almost forgot to throw out this book recommendation for #standalone One of my favorites! @PuddleJumper #flerken #hauntedshelf
