AUDIO BOOK REVIEW: Fox Creek by William Kent Krueger
REVIEW:
Book 19 of the Cork O'Connor series and it didn't disappoint. I don't think there is one volume of this series that I didn't think was fantastic. I also like that everyone in these books age as the books move along. We see Cork's children grow from infants to having families of their own. Of course with the aging of the children comes the aging of some of the other characters. I have to say I am not looking forward to reading about the death of Henry which will just break my heart. After reading so many of these I feel like I know these characters so well.
Cork races across the border of Canada to help find a man who has information that could reveal a plot that could destroy whole communities. The bad guys are always just a step behind with powerful people helping them. However, Meloux helps their tracker find his true path and he starts helping Cork and the others to fight against his old boss.
Non stop action this book is an easy listen. I highly recommend this series.

The ancient Ojibwe healer Henry Meloux has had a vision of his death. As he walks the Northwoods in solitude, he tries to prepare himself peacefully for the end of his long life. But peace is destined to elude him as hunters fill the woods seeking a woman named Dolores Morriseau, a stranger who had come to the healer for shelter and the gift of his wisdom.
Meloux guides this stranger and his great niece, Cork O'Connor's wife, to safety deep into the Boundary Waters, his home for more than a century. On the last journey he may ever take into this beloved land, Meloux must do his best to outwit the deadly mercenaries who follow.
Meanwhile, in Aurora, Cork works feverishly to identify the hunters and the reason for their relentless pursuit, but he has little to go on. Desperate, Cork begins tracking the killers but his own skills as a hunter are severely tested by nightfall and a late season snowstorm. He knows only too well that with each passing hour time is running out. But his fiercest enemy in this deadly game of cat and mouse may well be his own deep self-doubt about his ability to save those he loves.
