Blood Hollow

Blood Hollow is a fast paced mystery that you don't want to put down. Its long enough to have a lot of twists and turns, but not so long as to make it your lifes work! Kruegers "Cork O'Connor" stories give you a good dose of mystery, some geographical information, and some Native American mystique to give you the feeling that perhaps you've learned something, while entertaining yourself.

It is so nice to visit lovable, if flawed Cork O'coonor again. The changes in his character add realism to him. This book captures the qualities of a small town and the people who live there. Cork, again, strives to stay true to his ideals, although not always in the most conventional ways. Krueger haas done it again!

Excellent story, well written and totally entertaining. Many, many twists and turns. A young girl is found murdered and all evidence and suspicion points to her former boyfriend with a criminal past. Cork is not convinced that he is the murderer and delves deep into the investigation uncovering lots of hidden secrets and hidden identities. WIll keep you guessing from first page to last. A must read. Next to Boundary Waters, Krueger's best yet!!

I am such a fan of Krueger's writing. His characters are well developed and interesting. His sense of place is excellent; when he describes a blizzard, you're reaching for a blanket even if it's 80 outside. And his plots have wonderful twists and turns along the way that I never see coming. I think this is a much under-recognized whose books, to me, rank right there with Connolly, Connelly, Lehane and Rankin. The series doesn't have to be read in order, but I'd recommend it. And don't forget his standalone.

William Kent Krueger is amazing. Each book gets better and better. You can really see the spiritual, cultural, and community issues come to a boiling point in this novel. I will spare you all the details, you can read them in other reviews, but give you the big picture of you will love this book if like any or all of the below: a) you like a great mystery b) appreciate the upper midwest c) like Native American issues/culture d) are a spiritual person. It is a darn good read, can't wait for the next!
