Summary: The only novels I've read more than once
Review: I've been vacationing in Northern Minnesota for 17 years. I've spent time in the eastern Iron Range and Quetico/Superior wilderness. Krueger creates characters that you'll love. From the Grain Belt beer to the Duluth packs, he does a great job of capturing the lifestyle and spirit of this region in Boundary Waters and its predecessor, Iron Lake. However, what's with a black bear (or any bear) standing up on its hind legs in a show of aggression? My favorite novels anyway.

Review: Krueger, in the spirit of Tony Hillerman, has a great love & respect for the Native American traditions. Development of realistic characters continued form his 1st book - Iron Lake - intertwined with Chippawa culture & traditions. I look forward to more!

Summary: Hurry!
Review: Mr. Krueger's third Cork O'Conner installment can't get here fast enough. First with IRON LAKE and then BOUNDARY WATERS, this reader found herself completely drawn into the not-so-easy life of Cork and his family. Though I live far away from the setting of this series, and read both IRON LAKE and BOUNDARY WATERS while experiencing 100+ degree weather, both novels gave me chills of delight. I truly like Cork. He is my favorite kind of character -- very human. He makes mistakes, he has regrets, but also has a lot to offer. And yes, the mystery in each of these novels is well-drawn as well, whodunits that kept me guessing. I appreciate that. Thanks, Mr. Krueger. I hope there will be many, many more Cork stories to come.

Summary: Boundry waters book review
Review: The book Boundry waters, is an excelent book to read for someone who is a outdoors type of person. The book takes you on many adventures throught Minnesota's national forest. It deals with people that you would meet, and people who are apart of your every day life. The book takes you through the wilderness, while it take you to the city streets. As well as through the minds of many diffrent people, as the book progresses. I find myself trapped while reading the book, because the author goes into depth, on each page as the story goes on. I feel a sort of emotion as the author goes into the minds and captures the thoughts of the people who are stared in the book, its like your standing and watching the whole thing go on right in front of your eyes.

Summary: Run for life
Review: The second book of the Cork OConnor series fufills the promise of the first. A story of parents and children, Native American heritage, murder and a marathon with a life as a prize, makes the reader hope for more installments in this very good offering. Get on the trek with Cork before the boat gets swamped.

Summary: Great Nautre - Lukewarm on the Mystery
Review: This is a great novel to read to get the feel for what sounds like a beautiful wilderness area. It is located on the Canada and US border in Minnesota. The adventure writing is excellent and it's obvious the author is an outdoorsman, as am I. The mystery though isn't as good. I found it quite predictable, and there was far too much blood for what the protagonist was trying to accomplish. On the other hand, I loved Cork. He is a wonderful hero, and would like to see more with him.

Summary: Fast paced, exciting feel of the Boundary Waters
Review: This is an excellent mystery, with a superb sense of feel for the Boundary Waters and northern Minnesota. Although plagued with an overuse of similes, the writing is still crisp and always forward-moving. The characters are believable and several twists leave the reader guessing how the story will end. Krueger is a welcome new voice on the sometimes boring and repetitive mystery scene.
