Andrew K. (kuligowskiandrewt) -
Two high school friends who remained cordial over the years. One used to be the local sheriff, the other a former football star who appears to be destined to become the first Native American governor of Minnesota. They're out bow-hunting, but there's been a complication. The politician has an arrow in his heart that is killing him, and the arrow appears to belong to the sheriff.
In âTrickster's Pointâ, author William Kent Krueger successfully grounds us in the present while backtracking to the high school days of our lead characters. We know what has happened now, but we need to know what happened in the past in order to fully understand current events, and to determine who â and why â our murderer-in-progress is.
Of course, Mr. Krueger maintains the quality standard of writing that we've become accustomed to with his earlier novels in the Cork O'Connor series â plot, pacing, and characterization are all so well done as to draw in and grab the most jaded of mystery lovers. Up until the ending, an ending which THIS reader certainly didn't see coming.
William Kent Krueger is a talent that most other authors can only attempt to equal.
RATING: Five Stars
