I can't believe that I've made it to book 12 already in this series.  I read these books fast because they are so good and the mysteries are so complex that I can't wait to get through once I start.  In all honesty, this book is my favourite so far. Maybe it's because we get a detailed insight into Cork's younger self, and the juxtaposition against the almost 50 year old Cork makes it seem like we're peering into the past.  This is Cork's most personal case so far, and the suspense builds and builds throughout.  Even though I guessed who shot the arrow into Cork's old high school friend early on, it did not spoil the suspense for me as there were other storylines and other mysteries that got solved while Cork pursues the truth.  I love the beautiful descriptions of the Minnesota countryside, and I love all the characters, both good and bad.  I am so glad that I have nine more books to read before I catch up to where William Kent Krueger is currently writing.  I will keep reading my way through this wonderful series.
