T.I.M.E. BOOK REVIEW
For all the things we are dealing with in our current world at this time, one of the things we can be grateful for is that we are living in the time of William Kent Krueger's writing.
His book, This Tender Land, is on my Top Ten All-T.I.M.E. Favorite Books list... which represents my top ten favorite books I have ever read from any year. It was my first William Kent Krueger book... and it made me a fan for life. If you have not read it... drop everything and do so immediately. I am not kidding.
My next step was to dive right into his very popular Cork O'Connor Mystery Series beginning with Book 1. To date, I have read thru Book 7... And then received the wonderful news that a new installment was being released as Book 19 entitled Fox Creek.
Although the Cork O'Connor Mystery Series is a cumulative series, you can read each book as standalone books… But, I highly recommend reading the series in order for the best reading experience.
Each book does have a complete story arc. However, at the center of the story is Cork O'Connor, his family, friends, and the community they live in.
So, as you can imagine, we see the characters grow up, the community evolve, and experience great challenges. The history and attachment to the characters and culture deepen quickly.
But, could I wait to read the new book until I finished the first 18 books? Absolutely not. Yep... I do not follow my own advice!
As a result, when I started Fox Creek, it was a bit of a time warp for me to jump from Book 7 to Book 19. But once I got my bearings, I was quickly into the adventure of this new installment.
At the heart of this series is William Kent Krueger's love of the Boundary Waters region and his deep interest and respect for the Native American culture. Each one of his books always leaves me with a new chapter in American history that I had no previous knowledge of... And folks, we need to learn.
Because the darker forces of this world are learning something faster than the rest of us… Small shifts can add up to big changes. Their new weapon of choice? Patience.
With Fox Creek, I closed the last page with my head spinning as to what this story reveals from past history... what it reflects on current history... and what it foretells.
Perfect for readers who want a thrilling adventure filled with twists and turns... while exploring the twists and turns of who we are as human beings.
With the added layer of the mystical Native American understanding of how the divine works among us, I hope you will find truths that will provide guidance... and ultimately your own understanding of how small shifts can add up to big changes... ✨😎✨

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
In Fox Creek, William Kent Krueger weaves a thrilling adventure story with deep insights into the human condition.
The novel centers on the character of Cork O'Connor, a former sheriff who now does occasional private investigative work. And Henry Meloux, a 100 year old healer who has recently had a vision of his own death.
When a young woman named Dolores Morriseau comes to Henry seeking shelter and advice. Along with his niece (who is also Cork's wife), Henry agrees to help her but they all soon find themselves in the middle of a life or death hunt from hunters who are after Delores for unknown reasons involving her husband.
They set out into the Boundary Waters wilderness to try and find a safe haven for Dolores. Along the way, they must outwit the hunters who are hot on their trail, while also dealing with the challenges posed by the harsh wilderness.
Meanwhile, Cork and his son are desperately trying to find them before it is too late.
Throughout the novel, Krueger expertly weaves in themes of love, loss, hope, and redemption. And ultimately provides a powerful reminder of the importance of championing kindness in the world we live in.
