"Mr. Krueger, a friend of mine, writes dynamite stuff about a group of people in Northern Minnesota. In his Cork O'Conner series, Krueger tackles it all, mostly focusing on personal relationships--family,colleagues,mixed races, you name it. His writing is smooth, the plots are timely and the author's outlook is careful, well-planned and well worth considering at length."

    " I read the first books of the series when they came out but have lost track of the author until I noticed one of his books in the library. Always fun to discover a good writer has added to his list of books. I enjoy the Northern MN setting though this book didn't grab me as much as I remembered the earlier books. But what fun to know there is more good mystery to read. "

    " Another solid book in the Cork O'Connor series. I'm beginning to warm up to Jo, and I liked how someone from her past came into the story so we learned a bit more about her. And I was happy that Cork didn't get shot in this one (only grazed by a bullet). "

    " Krueger is a really good writer. Sense of place--very good. I was disappointed with the story ending, however; it seemed makeshift. There was also with a breakdown in police procedure that ignored a major player in the story until the rickety end. "

    " Good cop thriller. Seems likes it is going to be the first part in a two part story. There were a lot of loose ties at the end of the book including the fact that O'Conner has to go into hiding to protect himself from a contract put out to end his life. <br/> <br/>Copper River is next... "

    " It was pretty good. Typical WKK. I thought the way it ended was weird. It must be a two-parter, because he left a lot hanging. I haven't read Blood Hollow yet, so maybe that is the follow up. WKK is easy to read. I like that it's set in MN. "
