Review 1: Boundary Waters – Cork OConnor Book 2 audiobook by Lia

Amazing Installment To The Series

I’m a total fan now of William Kent Krueger and none of the books I’ve read to date have disappointed me in any way. Boundary Waters was no exception. It’s been weeks since I listened to the story, but the imagery still sticks with me. A young woman, a singer, decides to get her head together by spending time alone at a cabin in the middle of nowhere and basically hides out from her fans and everyone else she knows. She’s brought food and batteries for her dictation machine every week by a local Ashanabi – and one day he doesn’t show up. Nor does he show up the next day, or the next. She knows that he’s not coming, and she has to find her way out of the Boundry Waters on her own somehow. Her Step-Father comes to town and asks for help for Corcoron O’Connor. The FBI gets involved and a team of people go into the boundry waters to search for the missing singer. Only, they are not the only ones looking for her, and some of those searching for her would prefer that she didn’t come out alive.

An Engaging But Violent Wilderness Outdoor Mystery

Ok so to be honest I was surprised by the level of violence in this entry in the Cork O’Connor Series. Krueger really makes his villains evil–so prepare yourself for some nasty dealings. I know that the contrast is needed to show just what a great guy Cork is–but really some parts were over the top. I have to say up front that my favorite aspect of this series is when Cork’s family and neighbors all take more central roles. I also think that the author writes of native American folklore and the wild beauty of Minnesota perfectly.

To my mind there were a few boggy spots involving the plot as the story progressed. I also found myself stuck with about 3 hours to go in the book and couldn’t move forward. Maybe it was all the destruction and violence? Not sure, but I had to take a break. I went off and listened to Hillbilly Elegy (eyeopening and harrowing) and Louise Penny’s The Long Road Home (really soggy and ultra slow). I found that when I returned to finish Boundary Waters I had a renewed interest and in the end all was not lost.

I will continue with the series and try the next book. Do be aware that if violence disturbs you this book might just be too much. I hope that the balance found in the first book of the series, which I really enjoyed, returns. Recommended with reservations.

Review 3: Boundary Waters – Cork OConnor Book 2 audiobook by ElleOregon

Kruegers words and Chandlers voice a real win

I didn’t think there could be a better series of rural life mysteries than those written of Sherif Walt Longmire by Craig Johnson. If this “Iron Lake” series continues to be as excellent as the first 2 in the series I’m going to revise my opinion.

Johnsons characters are well written and character development is excellent, however Krueger also draws his story arcs with subtleness and excitement that narrator David Chandler interprets with style. Many male narrators-Dick Hill comes quickly to mind here-have little ability to give a woman’s voice a sense of realism. Chandlers smooth delivery is well tempered and without the constant sense of unrealistic hyper excitement that Hill seems to give every story.

I’ve just purchased several more of this nicely long series and I do believe it’s on its way to becoming a true favorite for me.

Start with the first in the series-it builds nicely and though you can read these as stand alone, a real richness seems to develop with each episode. Maybe they will make a TV series out of these books as they did with Longmire…one can hope.
