A review by gimmebacon
The River We Remember by William Kent Krueger

mysterious medium-paced

4.75

I started reading The River We Remember thinking it would be similar in pace and structure to his Cork O’Connor series. It’s not. You might think you’re reading a typical “whodunnit” with the body of the most hated man in town pulled out of the river and everyone having a reason to want him dead. What this book is REALLY about is the choices people make and the chain reaction of events that happen because of those choices. 
There ARE a lot of characters and points of view. The author continually reminded the reader who each character was so it wasn’t an issue for me. 
There are two dogs in the novel which made me a little nervous since William Kent Krueger has killed off a lot of dogs throughout his other books. I’m here to let everyone know that neither dog dies in this book. The River We Remember is safe to read if that’s a trigger!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
