Synopsis

The New York Times bestselling Cork O’Connor Mystery series—a “master class in suspense and atmospheric storytelling” (The Real Book Spy)—continues with Cork O’Connor revisiting a case from his past and confronting mysterious deaths in the present. A few nights before Halloween, as Cork O’Connor gloomily ruminates on his upcoming birthday, he receives a call from his son, Stephen, who is working for a nonprofit dedicated to securing freedom for unjustly incarcerated inmates. Stephen tells his father that decades ago, as the newly elected sheriff of Tamarack County, Cork was responsible for sending an Ojibwe man named Axel Boshey to prison for a brutal murder that Stephen is certain he did not commit. Cork feels compelled to reinvestigate the crime, but that is easier said than done. Not only is it a closed case but Axel Boshey is, inexplicably, refusing to help. The deeper Cork digs, the clearer it becomes that there are those in Tamarack County who are willing once again to commit murder to keep him from finding the truth. At the same time, Cork’s seven-year-old grandson has his own theory about the investigation: the Windigo, that mythic cannibal ogre, has come to Tamarack County … and it won’t leave until it has sated its hunger for human blood.

Goodreads review by Linda on August 28, 2025

I received a copy for review purposes. All opinions are honest and mine alone. Told in duel timelines, APOSTLE’S COVE is an opportunity for readers to return to the time when Cork O’Connor was sheriff of Tamarack County. Part one of the story takes place 25 years ago, which just happens to coincide w......more

Goodreads review by Debbie H on August 15, 2025

4 ⭐️ This is my second book in the Cork O’Connor series and although it’s book # 21, it is easily a stand alone read. I plan on going back and reading them all. I was thoroughly engrossed in this fast paced story that took place in dual timelines, present day and 25 years prior, in search of truth,......more

Goodreads review by Shantha (ShanthasBookEra) on August 30, 2025

Book 21 in the Cork O'Connor series drew me in from the beginning. When Cork's son Stephen calls him just before his sixtieth birthday to let him know that a man from a case he investigated twenty-five years earlier has been wrongly incarcerated for a murder he did not commit, Cork is determined to......more

Goodreads review by Bam cooks the books on August 22, 2025

I took a chance and jumped into this long-running series two or three books back because I am a great fan of William Kent Krueger's writing. This one could definitely be read as a standalone if you too want to give the series a try. Cork O'Connor, former sheriff of Tamarack County in MN, is now reti......more
