Cork O’Connor Books in Order, by William Kent Krueger

ByThe Lab Guy

Cork O’Connor is a former sheriff of Tamarack County in Minnesota. The story follows Cork as he navigates through various criminal investigations and personal challenges.

The novels often incorporate elements of Native American culture and spirituality, as Cork himself is part Irish and part Ojibwe.

The series is set against the backdrop of the Northwoods of Minnesota, and each book explores a different mystery or crime that Cork becomes entangled in, blending elements of suspense, crime, and regional fiction.

This is a mystery series written by William Kent Krueger.
