Mercy Falls (Cork O'Connor Series #5)

Great read

As with all of the Cork O'Connor series books, this one kept me glued to it. Couldn't put it down. You think you have it solved in your mind, then Krueger turns it in another direction.

Starting near the end proved to be a clever way to begin the fif

Starting near the end proved to be a clever way to begin the fifth book in the Cork O’Connor series (and my first introduction to the Minnesota sheriff). Surrounded by beautiful prose, the reader becomes engrossed in the story, and the pace doesn’t disappoint either. There’re more than enough sub-plots to keep the reader entertained and guessing about what might happen next.

Cork isn’t perfect; he has just enough flaws to keep him human, instead of being larger than life. Like Cork, the other characters are fleshed out well, and the story moves at a steady pace toward the ending. William Kent Krueger makes Minnesota sound both beautiful and enchanting, with rich history to fill every page.

While the ending may not satisfy all readers, it certainly worked for me: I want to pick up book six, as well as go back to the beginning, and read all the books in this two-time Anthony Award-winning series. Despite the author growing his audience over the years, and deservedly reaching the New York Times Bestseller’s List, he deserves an even bigger reach. If you enjoy beautiful descriptions and well-drawn characters, then you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better read than MERCY FALLS.

Highly recommended!

If you enjoy a good mystery, you'll love these books. Cork O'Connor is a great character. I've read the first 4 books and am now reading #5. Mercy Falls is exciting from the very beginning and doesn't slow down. Krueger's books really hold your attention, and I'm always in a hurry to get back to reading one. I also enjoy James Patterson's books, but I look forward to reading a new book by Krueger just as much. I think if you read one you'll be hooked.

Highly Recommended

this has been a great series of books, started with #1 and just finished #5. Can't wait to get started on #6. Cork is quite a guy. William Krueger writes a thriller every time. He knows how to keep you guessing and it is hard to put down.

Highly recommend

Love all the Cork O'Connor books, the only problem for me is that they are addicting, I don't want to put them down, which causes my family to bug me for food, laundry, etc!

Excellent as usual!

The saga of Cork O'Connor continues and without disappointment. What an adventure to read this series. My husband and I read these together and we can't wait to get to the next story.

Highly recommend

Another great book in the series!

Author

has a wonderful way of writting

highly recommend

still an informative read on this area of our country

Not his usual standards.

This book was a bit of a disappointment for me. Not to mention the fact that just about everything was left hanging at the end...hmmm, must be a sequel coming. I really like Krueger, but this just was not his best...just a lukewarm attempt.

Sequel???

Excellent! The best from Krueger. Once started, you will not put it down. There will be a sequel, won't there? There has to be, so much needs to be resolved. I lived on Minnesota's Iron Range for 14 years, so find his books especially interesting.
