Iron Lake by William Kent Krueger
4.0

“What life gives us, good or bad, we seldom deserve.”

I hadn’t heard a ton about the Cork O’Connor series from Krueger, but this was an Amazon Daily Deal a few weeks ago and I snapped it up because I love his stand alone novels. Imagine my surprise when I discovered there are 17 books in this series!

Cork O’Connor is part Irish, part Anishinaabe and used to be the Sheriff in Aurora, a rural Minnesota town. His marriage is on the rocks, he got voted out of office, and he’s living in an inherited burger joint, so things aren’t looking too bright for him this Christmas. And now he’s hearing the whisper of the Windigo, a vicious legend that calls out for people before they die, as seemingly unconnected deaths and disappearances start adding up to something bigger. What is happening in Aurora?

Cork is turning out to be an interesting character and I can’t wait to see him develop. I will definitely be returning to this series!
