If you are looking for a literate mystery with
well-developed characters and a convincing, challenging plot, this is the book
for you. Krueger’s latest chapter in the
life of his Cork O’Conner character will have you guessing until the last
pages.
Several characters from Cork’s past have reason to kill off
Cork’s childhood friend, rising politician Jubal Little. When Little’s life is cut short in the middle
of his gubernatorial campaign, Cork is the prime suspect until others reveal
their animosity. Cork’s family and
friends, as well as a few enemies, all come under suspicion in this tightly
plotted mystery leavened with near poetic descriptions of the area around
Trickster’s Point. The many layers to the mystery of Jubal’s
death are only revealed in the final pages.
An excellent way to spend some time with a fine author,
Native American traditions and the northern reaches of Minnesota.
5 of 5 stars
