I finished the book this afternoon. I've read each book in the Cork O'Connor series by Krueger. Being from Minnesota and also being the same age as Jenny, I feel as though I've grown up with the O'Connor family. I absolutely loved the development of (Stevie) Stephen's character in this book. He is spectacular. I was a little disappointed that much of the story takes place out in Wyoming instead of northern Minnesota, but the description of the land and people are just as rich.

I realize I say this a lot, but I think this is the best so far in the series. The plot gets better and better and I could really not put it down for the last 80 pages or so.

Heaven's Keep (Cork O'Connor #9) by William Kent Krueger (Author), David Chandler (Narrator)
When a charter plane goes missing over the snow covered Wyoming Rockies, Cork O'Connor doesn't want to give up on his wife, Jo, who was on the plane. But after joining the search to find the plane, Cork finally has to face the fact that Jo must be dead. Six months later he's shown evidence that suggests that the missing plane might not have been accidental but foul play.
Once again, Cork heads to Wyoming to ferret out what might have happened to the plane and why someone would want to make the people on the plane disappear. Who can Cork trust when he keeps getting non answers and the run around? Everyone seems to accept that the matter is a done deal but with digging Cork finds that the plane passengers may not be the only victims of what happened. Someone is trying to kill Cork the closer he gets to the truth. I was suspecting everyone of wrong doing as Cork dug deeper and it was hard not to have a little bit of hope for the passengers of the plane. The truth is shocking and disturbing.

I think I am growing weary of this series. The "cliffhanger" at the end of Mercy Falls had me chucking that one across the room and vowing never to read another in the series but...I'm back. This one was just sort of okay. More drama/soap opera than mystery with a shocking ending meant to send the reader running full-tilt to the next book in the series. Meh. I'll get there when I get there. I am finding Cork's vacillation between the Native American religious practice and Catholicism to be irritating. The moral grandstanding is irksome. I guess this one really deserves only 1.5 stars from me.
