Iron Lake (Cork O'Connor, #1)

A very interesting introduction to a new to me author and series. I really enjoyed the setting with the cold, the snow, snowmobiles, skis and driving on the frozen lake. An alien way of life to me as a resident of a very temperate part of Australia!
The story was excellent and the body count was huge. Actually the author maybe overdid that part of it but once I suspended belief I found it all very entertaining. I liked Cork O'Connor straight away and was rather disappointed by the ending when he loses something important to him. I am looking forward to seeing his character develop over the rest of the series.

Nice review! That's pretty much how I felt about the story.

Thank you for the review! I generally hate the cold (14 yrs in New England), but I loved the old Len Deighton spy thrillers set in the north of Scandinavia.
Great review, Phrynne! I've been meaning to read this for some time now. I read Ordinary Grace by Krueger and absolutely loved it :)
looking forward to reading this one!
I cant wait to read this! I will be starting it after the book I am reading now. Excellent review Phrynne!
Thanks Mary:) Enjoy!
I have that book on my shelf also. Good to see a high rating.
Thank you for the review! I finished the book last night. Superb prose, living characters, wonderful descriptions of indian culture and land.
This is a really good series William. I am up to number 10 now and they are all good!

I'm starting book #2 now, Boundary Waters
Just finished book #2. Terrific (mostly). 5-stars for the middle half!
Glad you enjoyed it William:)
Looking forward to yet another series! Nice review!
Thanks Owl. Enjoy:)
Thanks Debra. That seems long ago now. I have finished the series since then and all the books were really good!
Great review, Phrynne. It took a while for me to warm up to Cork. It wasn't until almost the end that I started to root for him.
