Fiction - Books by William Kent Krueger

William Kent Krueger has written a series of stories around a character Cork O'Connor. 
In order they are:
Iron Lake
Boundary Waters
Purgatory Ridge
Blood Hollow
Mercy Falls
Copper River

The books are set with the back drop of Boundary Waters, in a small town just outside the wilderness.  I enjoyed the books and those that like murder/mystery stories with the additional flavor of a small town and the boundary Waters.

I agree...this series is a fun read and I'm already looking forward to getting the next one.  Problem is I have a hard time putting them down and usually finish the book within a few days...then I'm left waiting.

Have read them all & now waiting for Audiobook "Thunder Bay" to arrive.  Familiar North Woods settings & interesting excursions into local Native American/1st Nation cultures.  I agree they are fun reads. 

Highly recommended!

Just finished Thunder Bay.  Without wanting to say too much. Huh.I enjoyed the diversion away from the main character into the life of a vital character that previously has remained somewhat mysterious. 

Kind of question the whole transition of Cork into PI, I kind of liked the way he always stumbled into trouble vs. now looking for it.

Anyway this has been a great series...while I enjoyed this one I hope this isn't a turning point that makes the new series more boilerplate.
