Blood Hollow (Cork O'Connor #4) by William Kent Krueger
Book #4 of the Cork O'Connor series has the O'Connor kids doing a big "ewwww" because Aunt Rose is needed elsewhere, so lousy cook, Mama Jo, is happily preparing more meals for the family. At least Cork's hamburger stand is doing a booming business although they may need more help there because Cork is acting as an investigator for lawyer Jo, as they try to get to the bottom of who might have killed a local rich high school student. The evidence against her ex-boyfriend, Solemn Winter Moon, is making him a hard client to defend but he wants Jo on his case despite murder defense not being her specialty. Cork is sure that Solemn didn't commit the crime and he's going to do everything he can to find out who murdered the young lady.
I had my eye on three other men for the crime but the story weaves a dark and twisted tale, making it hard to know who to trust. Good and bad goes gray, many hidden pasts make finding out facts difficult and Cork leans on some of his old Chicago associates to help him look farther from Aurora for answers. This was a sad and perplexing story and Cork's family doesn't escape the touch of evil.
