Run for your life!

But why is someone after them and who is behind it? Former cop and current PI Cork Oโ€™Conner is chasing after his wife and her companions all while seeking these same answers.

๐Ÿ’ก๐“๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก๐ญ๐ฌ: The book brings up some political and environmental issues of the moment but since thatโ€™s a bit of a spoiler, sorry but Iโ€™m not gonna ruin it! Lolโ€ฆ (but I love that in novels!)

Iโ€™ve read alllll of the โ€œCorkโ€ books and this is a solid installment. My only issue is itโ€™s a little โ€œbeen thereโ€ as far as Cork, the setting, and running from something in the Minnesota wilderness, but itโ€™s also why I enjoy Kruegerโ€™s books so how can I complain? Itโ€™s how Aurora wound up on my bucket list.

Thank you to the author, NetGalley and Atria Books for my advanced copy in exchange for my always-honest review and for making me miss the North a little more every day.
