New York Times best-selling author William Kent Krueger has won numerous accolades for his books, including the Anthony Award for Best First Novel. In Trickster’s Point, the 12th suspenseful installment in Krueger’s Cork O’Connor series, Cork is framed for the murder of Minnesota’s first Native American governor-elect, Jubal Little. As Cork fights to clear his name and uncover the truth, he discovers that events from his own past may hold the key to the real killer’s identity.

Best is series...to date.

I give this Cork O'Connor book my "best story in a series" award. It was worth the wait....and left me wanting to turn another page. The book stands alone (so if it is your first William Kent Krueger read, you won't be left wondering about references to earlier books.) But Krueger only provides O'Connor family background when background is essential (so if you have, like me, read all of the others in the series, you won't get bored by the repetition.) The Ojibwa mystic tradition is interestingly presented and makes me want to learn more; the beauty and wildness of northern Minnesota is drawn with a brilliant word palette reminding me of personal soul-searching times spent paddling the Boundary Waters and walking the shores of Lake Gichigami. "The opposite of love is not hate but fear."

Great story

Second only to Iron Lake. Lots of good ones in between though. Unfortunately only two Books left in this series.

Tricky indeed!

More plot twists and connections between suspects than ever before! Great read, and insightful as always. “kill to protect the things you love”

Best One Yet!

This story was woven with such grace.

All the way through, I liked all the characters so much that I didn't think any of them could have been the bad guy. Well, the Sheriff was nasty enough that I hoped for his downfall.

But again, it was full of grace and love, peppered with enough history, violence, and love that it was a believable human story.

Highly recommend!

Another great story

Great story. Love listening to Cork. Feels like you are part of the family and community.

The best O'Connor book yet

I have to say that this is the best Cork O'Connor book I've read it yet. I read another review that was critical of the weaving of the backstory into the current story. But that's what made it so special to me. It was like getting two books in one. I'm glad David Chandler is back as the narrator. And the prayer Stephen offered at the end was the perfect ending.

Trickert's Point a Sad story

I enjoy the Cork O'Connor series, but this story was one of pain and sadness. William Kent Krueger is a good writer and I do enjoy his books; however, this one seem to dwell on the past. Apparently I have missed the book in which Cork's wife dies and Cork now seems to be at odds with his life. I understand grief and the spiritual side of life; I suppose this is one of the reasons I do like to read Krueger as he adds spirituality to all his writings. I would recommend this book for someone who enjoys mysteries and what can I say about David Chandler's narration other than he is a class act; he is one of my favorite narrators!

Another captivating story

Another great Cork O'Conner mystery. kept me guessing all the way through. still undecided on the new narrator taking over for Buck Schirner, but he did not take away from the story.

Great book!

I have nearly all of the books by William Kent Krueger that are offered by Audible and I love them! I was in a half-priced book store recently and started talking to a woman and her mother about this author and his books. They left the store anxious to get on line to find his books. The stories flow and the suspense is enough to leave you wanting more. I would (and have) recommended these books to anyone who likes suspense!!

Excellent!

I love a mystery that I can't solve. This kept me going right to the end!
