Summary: I wrote this about the hardcover and it still holds true.
Review: When a prominent and infamous man-about-town is found dead and a local Native American boy turns up missing, suspects, alibis, and racial tensions pile up as high as snow banks. Cork probably shouldn't get involved. The last time he stepped in the middle, people got hurt. Himself included. And now he's lost his badge and his wife and maybe his way. But whether he likes it or not, he's caught again, like his blood, like his past, half in the white man's world, half on the reservation. Now a man is dead and a boy is missing and it's snowing really hard outside. And Cork's sense of duty and justice didn't disappear with his badge.

Krueger's ability to marry true edge-of-your-seat mystery and suspense with a lyrical and literary style and sensibility is unmatched. Iron Lake succeeds famously both as a tale of murder and mystery and as a rich and vivid portrait of an unusual town and it's divided citizens.

Read this book. It's fantastic.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A must-read suspense novel
Review: William Kent Krueger has the unusual capability to create a suspense novel that will satisfy all of your senses. You don't simply read this novel -- you feel, tastes, and hear the characters and the suspense in Iron Lake. It's a great read, and I'm definitely looking forward to reading the next Cork O'Connor mystery.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Start of a great new series!
Review: You gotta love Cork O'Connor. He has lost his job, separated from his wife and now lives in the back of his little business. But he chooses good women, loves his kids and has a good heart. Now he will put everything on the line to deal with murder and an old Indian legend. I love series characters - it's fun to follow their progression from one book to another and this promises to be a top notch series. If you like Harry Bosch, Tres Navarre, or Kevin Kearney you will enjoy Cork O'Connor.
