Iron Lake (20th Anniversary Edition) Audiobook

" I bought this book for my husband and decided to check it out for myself. I enjoyed that it takes place in Minnesota and seemed respectful of Ojibwe culture. It was suspenseful and hooked me. I'll have to read the others! "

" I wanted to like this book but I just couldn't get attached to the characters and there was way too much description of everything. "

" I read Vermilion Drift 1st and LOVED it and am now working my way back. This is a 3.5. A really fun read, definitely riveting and kept my attention. A good mystery. I think I have an affinity for Mr. Krueger's books though, being from Michigan. His vivid descriptions of the cold were spot-on! He's slowly becoming a favorite mystery writer and I have already purchased books 2 & 3 to see if I'm definitely hooked! "

" First in the O'Connor series about a half Native American ex-sheriff in Minnesota. The story was gripping and the descriptions were lush. I enjoyed this book on tape. "

" My first Kent Kruegger mystery. I look forward to others, especially since they are set in Minnesota, where I have lived since 1968, and where I love day hiking in the northern Minnesota lake country. "

" He is quite a character, that Cork. I admit the Windigo part of the story didn't do much for me. Nice to read about northern Minnesota however. "

" Excellent book. The main character Cork is sympathetic and interesting. The mixture of Native American lore and northern MN scenery is really cool. "

" I'm not a mystery lover. In spite of that fact, this book kept me going. I didn't have the story figured out until quite late in the book, and the fact that we've had heavy snow for the last week here in Iowa made the setting seem real to me. I'm glad I read it. "

" gREAT FIRST NOVEL. lOTS OF SUSPENSE. Former Sheriff Cork O'Connor was a flawed hero and excellent character. Liked the native American charaters and story angle. This is the first of a planned series. Definatly worth more of a look. "

" This is the first book I have read by this author. I am looking forward to more. "

" All of Krueger's books are great stories. He not only writes good mysteries but also about small towns, northern Minnesota and the Objibwe with insight and compassion. "

" A decent suspenseful story that captures the feel of rural northern Minnesota's Anishinaabe Country. I'm reserving judgement about some of the details and depictions of Anishinaabe culture, but Krueger definitely captures the prevalent white ignorance and prejudices of rez-bordering small towns. "

" Great debut! Can't wait to read more in the series. "

" A good read for a Minnesotan, or for anyone who likes a good mystery set in an interesting locale! "

" A fresh mystery voice and I loved the setting. Very suspenseful. Focus on native american but spirituality not overdone. "

" Minnesota snowy forest noir. The who done it is not so surprising but the deeply drawn character of Cork O'Connor and his small town world are mesmerizing. "

" Enjoyable lite mystery. Especially enjoyed information on Native American culture. Will be reading more in this series. "

" This was a freebie on my Nook. I enjoyed it. It takes place in northern MN. "

" William Kent Krueger is a very good writer. This is the first book of his that I have read. I thought he did a great job of developing his characters, especially Cork. An enjoyable read for me and I was glad that I read this book. "

" Good mystery set in Northern Minnesota "

" I liked this book because it takes place in Minnesota but it is also a pretty good mystery. I am going to get the next in the series and read it. "

" I really liked this murder mystery. The story was quite gripping. It doesn't have more stars because of language issues. "

" Great series set in the Northern part of the country! Loved the whole series. "

" An easy to read mystery. I think I will look for the next few in the series. "

" I picked this up for fifty cents at a used book sale. Nothing spectacular, but a decent read, especially considering the price! "

" Love all of his series. Was cool to meet him at a book signing this summer, local MN author from St. Paul (I think, and does a wonderful job describing the iron range and the north country i love so much "

" Mystery based in Minnesota; detective is part irish/american indian from a tribe in that area; fast paced; good mystery and great characters. looking forward to the next book in the series. "
