Absorbing fast paced novel by William Kent Krueger in “Heaven’s Keep”
Cork O’Connor’s wife takes a plane and disappears completely from sight. He is a family man and grieves with his son and daughters deeply. But after six months or so, he starts getting some news or other which leads him to believe that there is something more murky than an accident in this case.
As Cork delves deeply into the mystery with his newly acquired friend Parmer he finds a lot of unconnected dots which still does not lead to his wife’s disappearance. Plus the story has a lot of Indian influence with the characters coming from one or two of those Indian tribes.
There is lot of twists and turns in the story during the middle part of the novel, which sets the adrenaline rushing. His son gets a vision about the disappearance of his mother and one other wizened old Indian also gets a vision, but the interpretation is different and baffles them.
There is a lot of suspense towards the end with more bodies, a love interest, corporate involvement in Indian reservations, fraud, near death experience for Cork and Parmer, desperation and injustice and finally redemption. The narration by William Kent Krueger is quite good as it keeps the reader interested. Goodreads 5/5
