Heaven's Keep: A Novel (Cork O'Connor Mysteries) ReviewOpinion Only - No Story Spoilers
This is the ninth novel in the Cork O'Connor series, and wouldn't be the best starting point for new readers into the series. This book takes a different approach than his others do and depends (to a point) on the reader being familiar with the characters already. Having read the series to date, I really enjoyed the story, and read it in two days. The first half of the book has little character development (ninth book in the series), and jumps right into the story of the disappearance of and search for Jo O'Connor and others, and Cork's coming to terms with the situation. The second part of the book is more like the rest of the series. Overall, I found it captivating and an easy read that became hard to put down.
I had the feeling that Thunder Bay would be the last in the Cork O'Connor series after completing it and was pleasantly surprised by the release of the next book, Red Knife, which I really enjoyed as well. This latest turn in Heaven's Keep may mark the end, or it may in fact mark a turning point toward a new direction in a series that might otherwise be limited by geographic location and relative isolation.
William Kent Krueger's Cork O'Connor series was recommended to me by Amazon about the time that Blood Hollow came out, because I had enjoyed series novels by Steve Hamilton and C.J.Box. After purchasing and enjoying Iron Lake, I ordered the next three novels in the series and enjoyed each book better than the last, and felt that WKK's writing improved with each one. Each story is built slightly off the last one, as series are prone to do, while still remaining fresh and captivating. While sometimes series characters tend towards unbelievability in terms of the number and type of events over the entire series, Krueger stays on the inside of this curve (and we as readers should generally allow a bit of flexibility -who wants to read books about a 32 year veteran cop who never even had cause to unholster his weapon?).
Good to read on their own, but much better to read in order, the Cork O'Connor series is:
Heavens Keep - 2009
Red Knife - 2008
Thunder bay - 2007
Copper River - 2006
Mercy Falls - 2005
Blood Hollow - 2004
Purgatory Ridge - 2001
Boundary Waters - 1999
Iron Lake - 1998Heaven's Keep: A Novel (Cork O'Connor Mysteries) Overview
