About this listen
Anthony Award-winning author William Kent Krueger crafts this riveting tale about a small Minnesota town’s ex-sheriff who is having trouble retiring his badge. Cork O’Connor loses his job after being blamed for a tragedy on the local Anishinaabe Indian reservation. But he must set aside his personal demons when a young boy goes missing on the same day a judge commits suicide—and no one but O’Connor suspects foul play.
Solve another case with Cork O'Connor.©1998 William Kent Krueger (P)2010 Recorded Books, LLCCritic reviews
"Krueger makes Cork a real person beneath his genre garments, mostly by showing him dealing with the needs of his two very different teenage daughters. And the author's deft eye for the details of everyday life brings the town and its peculiar problems to vivid life." ( Publishers Weekly)

A story which flowed well

However, I was pleasantly surprised and I finished the book keen to start another, which I have, though with 3 or 4 books in between.
Cork is a great main character, just a general, honest kind of man, who would like an easy life but wants to help people and gets drawn into situations. WKK hasn't made him invincible, which is what a lot of authors will do and I liked that he didn't win every fight, that he had to use his brain and enlist the help of others.
Roll on Boundary Waters (Book 2 of 20!)
Interesting series from the inimitable WKK.
