Just finished reading Krueger's latest "Cork O'Conner" book.  Outstanding as always!  It came out way back in September, but I just found out about it.  He has another Cork book coming out in September of this year, and still another book outside the O'Conner series already written, due to be released in 2012.

Vermillion Drift made the NY Times Best Sellers

Not more than a minute after I made the above post, I received an e-mail notice from our local public library:  "Your request for 'Vermillion Drift' by Wm Kent Krueger is ready for pick-up...."   I made that request last fall when the book came out!  VERY weird!

I run through periods of time when I am simply a magnet for bizarre stuff happening.  Looks like here I go again.

Anyhow, I really look forward to reading this book.

Just finished this one.  Not sure if it is my favorite of the series, but I do think it ranks up there.  I was somewhat disappointed with the last book and the story line, this one seemed to be more of what I've come to expect and enjoy about this series.  Looking forward the next one!

I agree. I do hope there are more. Not sure where the story line goes from here.

Thanks to Jimbo for introducing the series, I have read them all and have nejoyed them.

Here is another link  (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links) that provides a video concerning the setting of the new book as well as a hint as to where the storyline goes from here.  It sounds really good!

Does this one stand alone pretty well or should the series be read from the start? There are a lot of them.

While I have read most of the series in sequence, I would say the books would read well on a stand-alone basis.  My mother read one that would right in the middle of the series & seemed to really enjoy it.

I agree that you don't have to read the books in order to be able to enjoy them but it does offer some insight on the characters. I started with Boundary Waters, found it because of the name, then went back to the beginning of the series and through from there. Looking forward to the new book as I have enjoyed all of his previous work.
