I have enjoyed the novels by William Kent Krueger that I have read, so I was happy to receive an advance copy of his latest, Spirit Crossing, from Atria Books and NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. 

Minnesota politicians? A hot topic this election season, and in this one, the teenage daughter of a local politician has disappeared, and as a gigantic manhunt is underway to find her, the grandson of Krueger’s familiar character Cork O’Connor stumbles on the grave of a young woman – not the object of the search, but rather a young Ojibwe female. No one seems to care much, except Cork and the recently formed Lake Ojibwe Tribal Police. Surprise! (not really) there is a connection between the two females, and Cork’s grandson seems in  line to be the next victim. 

As usual, Krueger’s writing about the setting is beautiful and the mystery unravels in a mesmerizing way/ Another winner from Krueger! Four stars.
