‘Boundary Waters’ by William Kent Krueger (Cork O’Connor # 2)

Posted on July 19, 2020 | 2 Comments

Set in the wilderness of northern Minnesota near the Canadian border, this was the perfect book to read while camping in northern Ontario. The rocky shore lakes, loons, and fir forests were the perfect backdrop to a gripping good mystery out in the wild. This one reminded me of Peter Heller’s The River. It is the second in a mystery series by the gifted author of Ordinary Grace and This Tender Land.

Cork O’Connor is a very flawed but likeable character and if I wasn’t completely hooked with the first instalment in the series, I sure am now! It’s probably a good idea to read them in order, to see how things develop with the recurring characters. The first in the series is called Iron Lake and there are seventeen in all. Yikes, I have some serious catching up to do but I’m looking forward to it! Krueger is such a good story teller. He had me on the edge of my campfire chair the whole way! 🙂

    Joanne I began reading this series a few months ago too, but I’m having trouble getting my hands on the older books in this series. I found Iron Lake on an inter library loan. And I’m awaiting a used copy of book 2 from Amazon. Have you had trouble finding these books?

      So sorry you haven’t been able to find these books. Our local public library has them all on ebook, so I’ve been lucky that way especially with libraries closed, although they are doing curbside pickups now. I did buy Iron Lake a long time ago on Kindle, maybe that’s a cheaper option if you do have to buy. Hope you have better luck later on in the series!
