Thank you NetGalley and Atria Books for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.
It was a gruesome murder. A young mother murdered in her home and too many people with motive and opportunity to commit the crime. Cork was never certain they put the right person in jail all those years ago, but he put it out of his mind when the man confessed. But now, with his son working for the Innocence Project, he’s questioning it all again. Will Cork find the truth before the killer takes him down?
Apostle’s Cove is Willim Kent Krueger’s 21st installment in the Cork O’Connor series. Revisiting one of Cork’s early cases, this novel features dual timelines filled with mystery and suspense. The author weaves indigenous traditions and discriminations into both timelines to give readers an authentic look at what these characters would have encountered in both timelines. This is a novel about not settling for the easy answer and digging for the truth.
I give Apostle’s Cove 5 out of 5 stars. This novel gets a perfect 5.0 score from me – I have no complaints with this novel! I was a latecomer to the works of this author and kick myself every time I read another of his works. This was a quick read for me only because I couldn’t put it down – it’s been a while since I had a book I stayed up late to read and started my day early to read a few chapters of, too. This was a fantastic book that delivered domestic thrills, romance, and family drama in a way that only this author can.
I have been anxiously awaiting this book since finishing Spirit Crossing last year. With discussions of child molestation, murder, and other violence, this book may be the best directed to mature audiences over 16. This book would be a great starting point for readers new to this series, too – it makes a great standalone read and a great continuation of Cork’s story. If you love other series like Marc Cameron’s Arliss Cutter or Craig Johnson’s Longmire, I think you’ll love this series, too!
Apostle’s Cove will release September 2nd. You can pre-order your copy today on our Bookshop.org page!
