Review 1: Purgatory Ridge – Cork O’Connor Book 3 audiobook by Kitty

If you like Longmire…

You will like this series. It is similar to Longmire in many ways, but has more family involvement. It definitely keeps your interest and you find yourself becoming more invested in getting to know the family and hoping for the best for all it’s members.

I will eventually work my way through this series. I am glad that I took a chance.

Review 2: Purgatory Ridge – Cork O’Connor Book 3 audiobook by Byron

Trees, ships, families, and greed in Minnesota

PURGATORY RIDGE is the third installment of the Cork O’Conner mysteries. Though no longer the sheriff of Aurora, Minnesota, when the local lumber mill is bombed, resulting in the death of a local Native American tribesman, Cork is asked to help in the investigation. Many possibilities for suspects eventually evolve as environmentalists and the local tribes are protesting the lumbering of a sacred stand of old growth trees called the “Old Grandfathers”. Then the lumber mill-owner’s wife and son, along with Cork’s wife and son , are kidnapped with a ransom demand for 2 million dollars.

Suspense builds with the addition of another suspect, the only survivor of a sunken ship from a number of years ago, who has been mourning the death of his brother during that sinking. He believes the mill owner’s wife’s family is responsible for the sinking by sabotaging the ship for the insurance money. With the building of suspects and clues developing into a serious case, the conclusion is a complete surprise.

Krueger’s mysteries are enhanced by the cultural differences between the Native Americans and the whites, with Cork being mixed blood, and his wife as the lawyer for the tribe. There are also marital issues between Cork and his wife, as they have come together again, after both strayed with other partners. They have three children, two of whom now help Cork run their restaurant. These many and varied issues greatly add to the interest of Krueger’s books. The atmosphere of the Minnesota surrounds is also a character in itself, building suspense with the wild weather, and many land formations. Excellent continuation of the Cork O’Conner series!
