I really liked this Cork book. It was a continuation of sorts from "Mercy Falls" but mainly a different story that ran parallel to it. Mr. Krueger is a master storyteller that has such a gift.
2 quotes from this book that have stayed with me -
" ...every falling leaf comes to rest exactly where it was meant to be."
"Behind closed curtains, men and women shared their beds, their fortunes, their lives, and their dreams, and their children were the sum of all these things made flesh."

We have our answers and met a few new people. This case is over and all is calm for the moment.

Picking up William Kent Krueger's Cork O'Connor series is like returning to my old friends. This one, the sixth in the series, was a bit different than the others, in that it focused entirely on Cork. In this novel, he is on the run and hides out at his cousin's cabin resort in Michigan. Of course, trouble finds him anyway.
One of the things that I love about this series is that while the books are plot driven, the arc of the series includes very intricate and nuanced character development. I really felt that in this one. I am seeing Cork develop a lot as a character, and that's really fun. Of course, the plot was captivating with a solid amount of suspense. I flew through the last 2/3 of this book and immediately picked up Thunder Bay, the seventh installment.

I'm a fan
I'm a fan of Krueger and his work O'Connor series and this installment didn't disappoint. I accidentally read this book out of order and have to go back and read Mercy Falls. But each book can stand on it's own and Copper River has a compelling story, engaging characters and a satisfying conclusion.
