Everyone of the Corcoran O’Connor series has been a page turner. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars 15 in.a.row!!! *by K***A on Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2023* I was totally hooked after book one and now proceeded to book 16. I spent much time in Minnesota and some in Hurley, Wisconsin so I closely identify with the atmosphere created. You will not be disappointed with Cork O'Connor or the writing of Krueger. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars With James Lee Burke, the Current Master of the Literary Mystery *by R***Z on Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2016* As William Kent Krueger fans know, the author has been wrestling with his writing and has fallen a bit behind on his schedule. After a two-year break in time, Cork O’Connor is back and Manitou Canyon is a solid contribution to the saga of his life and works.The dust jacket blurb reads as follows: “A taut, masterful thriller, Manitou Canyon features everything readers love in a Cork O’Connor novel: a dramatic Northwoods setting, an intriguing view of the Ojibwe culture, an enigmatic crime, brilliant storytelling, and a profound understanding of the natural world.”If I might editorialize on that statement . . . the Northwoods setting (principally in the Boundary Waters and points north) is superb; the exploration of Ojibwe culture is more extensive than it is in the standard Cork O’Connor mystery. We learn more vocabulary and hear many words of wisdom from Henry Meloux. The view of the natural world (particularly its geology) is expert and fascinating. The crime itself, however, is not terribly enigmatic. The storytelling is most impressive, because WKK is working with fairly small materials. A wealthy man known to Cork in his youth has gone camping and disappeared. The local officials (and Cork) have been unable to find him. Cork is hired by his grandson and granddaughter to give it a second shot and he (with the granddaughter) promptly disappears.The general outline of the ‘mystery’ is telegraphed fairly early and the thrust of the narration is twofold: Cork struggles to understand the underlying story’s details and the folks back home worry about him and try to find him.These novels always carry a strong family subplot, one reinforced by the fact that WKK is willing to see his characters’ lives develop and change (and, even, end). This is heightened in this novel because Cork’s daughter Jenny is scheduled to be married (in two weeks), Cork’s lover Rainy is thinking over her options with him, Aunt Rose has come to visit and help the family prepare for the wedding and an old friend of Henry’s has come for the wedding but also in hopes of rekindling her relationship with him. In short, there is a great deal of activity at Crow Point and on Gooseberry Lane in Aurora. The family subplot (with all worrying about Cork) is half of the story and WKK cuts between the mystery plot and the subplot chapter by chapter, adding to the suspense. The storytelling is excellent but the mystery, per se, is clarified (or telegraphed) fairly early on. The end result is nevertheless the same—a first-rate novel and solid literary mystery that readers will want to read straight through.Highly recommended. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/45588745-manitou-canyon-a-novel-15-cork-oconnor-mystery-series](https://www.desertcart.us/products/45588745-manitou-canyon-a-novel-15-cork-oconnor-mystery-series) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
