Im working my way through it and think it may be the best of the best. He won the Edgar award for Best Mystery for Ordinary Grace, a stand alone novel in 2014. That was the first book of his I read, which inspired me try the series. Im halfway through Windigo Island, which gives a brief but fascinating history of Duluth, Minnesota, including the good, the bad, and the ugly, as well as a devastating account of the sexual exploitation of, and violence towards Native American women and children. But also deeply spiritual. Terrible and beautiful, and all of a piece.

(126,689 posts)I like audiobooks - I listen when I'm out walking - but of course you won't get correct spellings from them. The trade-off is that a good narrator will do accents. There are some British narrators who a great job with the various British accents. The Cork O'Connor narrator isn't all that great with the Minnesota accents, especially the Ojibwe (which is pretty distinctive), but he isn't terrible.

(8,743 posts)I may actually start from the beginning after finishing the last one. The great thing about my advanced age is not remembering who done it.
