Publisher's summary

The award-winning author of the best-selling Cork O’Connor series, William Kent Krueger pens novels with pulse-racing suspense. In Windigo Island, the corpse of an Ojibwe girl washes ashore, and locals at the Bad Bluff reservation believe it to be the work of the mythical Windigo. But the dead girl’s friend is also missing, and sheriff-turned-PI Cork O’Connor will brave any danger to bring her home.

Highly Recommend Listening

William Kent Kruger has crafted another Cort O'Conner mystery of high quality. For the characters that were in previous books, her has stayed true to their character. Really keeps you interested constantly.

Great story

The storyline brings to light the harsh and evil world for young girls whom have no home life and end up being traficked. Different for cork but I liked it. I also liked new character for Jenny to possibly fall for.

Great narrator. Great author.

I love David Chandler’s narration. Another great story. Each book chronicles more about Cork and his family.

Moving story w/ important message

The story of sex trafficking of young girls is hard to hear and all too real. Krueger not only writes an entertaining story, but also calls attention to a societal problem that weighs particularly heavily on Native American communities for reasons well expressed and explained in this book.

Not my favorite Cork book

I love this series and the characters, and I liked this book, but it was far from my favorite. It seemed like some of the main characters were acting against type and out of character to fit the story line. Other characters were conveniently out of the way and Rose was just conveniently there for the summer? It wasn’t bad, but it all just struck me as odd. I thought it was sort of clunky compared to the other books in the series.

Best of the Series

An intense look at a side of Minnesota (and many places) that is less magical than most of what we expect in the lake country. Familiar characters develop well, and the villains and victims are realistic. The narration has a roughness that is appropriate for the story in which the characters really have to fight the Windigo.

one of my favorite books in the series

I've read all the series, but this is probably my favorite. Intertwines the struggles and spirituality of the First People, while delivering a gripping (albeit fictional) story of the exploitation of girls - which happens everday, in every country.

As a women's health care worker, I am aware that 80% of sex trafficked women and children will present to a healthcare facility at some point during their trafficking.

Hats Off to William Kent Kreuger and David Chandler for an educational, entertaining, and compelling listen!

Grabbed my interest from page 1

An involving, frustrating, exciting story. Read by a masterful narrator.. Makes the case for the native need for cultural protection.

Predictable, but still a good read

I am a fan of Krueger’s non-O’Connor books so was curious about them. Very enjoyable, entertaining, but somewhat predictable storyline. That said, I’ll probably read more of them.
