Not his best work. Would be an interesting story for a movie.

The writing was highly effective at putting me in the place. The story was convoluted enough that I couldn’t figure it out. Extra credit for that.

Krueger is the best at writing suspenseful novels with characters to stay with you. Love the way he incorporates the Native American plight in small town Minnesota.

It’s been many years since I’ve enjoyed a book so much. Reading Iron Lake, was like being with a dear friend, I did not want to put this book down, and yet did not want to finish reading! Loved every page!

Good pace, interesting, nice action. Pretty much what I want from a book. First read from this author, it won't be my last.

William Kent Keueger does for the Minnesata North Woods what James Lee Burke does for the Louisiana Bayou Country. Except Krueger does it better. (Maybe I'm biased because I'm from Minnesota.). Krueger's main character, Corcoran (Cork) O'Conner, like Burke's Dave Robicheaux is an on again off again sheriff who is relentless in getting the facts whether he is wearing the star or not. The supporting cast in Krueger's books are well developed and consistent from book to book. So far I have only read four of the Cork O'Conner books but I plan to read them all. They're great!
