Mercy Falls by William Kent Krueger is the fifth book in the Cork O’Connor series and I was very disappointed that it's not stand-alone. One needs to read book # six because this one just ends with no resolution. I think the editors just need to sell anther book. There are lotsa characters but they're easy to keep organized. There's a new character, Marsha Dross, and we're not sure she's a good one quite yet. The plot pits Cork -v- a very rich guy and it's engrossing. OK. I'll go to the library in a month or so and get book number six...just make me. ( ) Mercy Falls by William Kent Krueger is the fifth book in the Cork O’Connor series and I know that I will be picking up book number six soon as it is apparent that the story arcs over into the next book. I enjoyed this dark story but I did have a few problems with it but nothing that will keep me from continuing on with the series. It starts with a domestic dispute that all too soon is exposed as a ruse. Someone wanted Cork O’Connor to be exposed to their rifle fire, but they made a mistake and instead shot the deputy that Cork was riding with. They have barely started the investigation into this shooting when Cork and his crew find themselves dealing with a murder. Eddy Jacoby is a slimy businessman but he is killed in a particularly horrible way. All too soon it becomes obvious that both these crimes are linked. By the end of the book, Cork knows who the perpetrator is, but he has also made a powerful enemy and both he and his family are in danger. The book ends with Cork leaving to go into hiding until the truth totally comes out. I found Cork a little too righteous and far to self-important in this book. He takes his job of sheriff very seriously which is good, but he also seems to think that he is the only one who can do the job. I also have problems with his wife, Jo. Although I feel bad saying this due to what happened to her in this book but she obviously is like catnip to the opposite sex as this is not the first book where she proves to be irresistible. That said, the descriptive writing is excellent and I am looking forward to continuing on with the next book. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
