    Great characters
  

*by T***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2023*

While this is a mystery, I think I really enjoyed the people in the town. Cork, Jo, Molly, Henry, Wanda....I'll look forward to reading more about them in the next story!!I also appreciated the setting. The cold, the snow, and the difficulty in getting around in the winter were NAILED!

    Reminds Me Of Home

I left Central Wisconsin 56 years ago but was painfully reminded of the harsh winter climate when reading this novel set in Minnesota.  Add in the early morning paper route one of the young characters was responsible for which required newspapers to be delivered during all kinds of weather.  Another similarity was that both of us were Eagle Scouts and members of the Order of the Arrow.  And then of course we had a hunting cabin (or tar paper shack is a better description) just on the other side of a bog close to the Manitowish Waters Ojibwa Reservation.  The Ojibwa by the way had much better and far more comfortable accommodations than we had. While the bog served as a natural boundary, on occasion we could tell that we were being watched, but we never did discover who was doing the watching.  So the similarities I lived through were prevalent in this story.This personal history helped me relate to the people, climate and scenes described in "Iron Lake".  I normally read aggressive crime/thriller/mystery novels which are set in large urban populations where the technology used is up-to-date, the urban scenes dark and dreary, and a host of attractive women seem to make up the majority of the population.  Many of those novels don't even identify the race or heritage of the characters, leaving the reader with a homogeneous feeling.  Mr. Kruger however is very specific on race, body type, character, level of intelligence, and the goals of each of his actors.I discovered this novel when I switched up my method of discovering new authors to read.  Recommendations from friends helped as well as tracking down some of the novels that Amazon sends me outlines of.  Then it's a matter of weaning down the choices further to determine the average rating given by reviewers -- not just to each specific  novel selected but also to the other works written by the same author.  William Kent Krueger stood out for the quality of all of his works and because of the rather unusual setting for his Cork O'Connor mystery series.This novel turned out to be an exceptional selection.  "Iron Lake" was written 20 years ago and was such a good seller that a twentieth anniversary edition was just published for those of us unfamiliar with this author's skill set. The northern winter scenery was a story in itself and figured prominently in the plot.  Nothing moved too fast and in fact some critical thinking was required to keep up with the characters' thoughts and actions.  But the novel itself proved to be an extremely enjoyable read especially since the first person narratives were often given by several of the main characters.  That was extremely helpful in deciding why some actions were taken and how those activities affected the lives of each of them.  Great job Mr. Krueger.  I'll be taking another trip with Cork very soon.

After reading Ordinary Grace and This Tender Land I was wanted to read more from this author so I started the Cork O’Connor series. Good mystery! Can’t wait to dive into the prequel, Lighting Strikes.
