God’s Country (Cork O’Connor, #22) – by William Kent Krueger

Posted on 07/13/202607/13/2026 by Mark

I got this book from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. Now, before I do, let me preface by saying I am definitely a firm believer and follower of anything Cork does. He has a deep appreciation of helping people and cherishes his family. In one of my earlier book reviews, I suggested Mark Ruffalo could play Cork, and that hasn’t changed. I am not sure which Facebook group recommended Cork, but I say thanks my fellow book lovers!

As this is the last Cork book (I am really hoping more will be published), it was fun to see everybody grow up. I was sad for a few of the deaths in the family. Besides Cork, my favorite character is still Henry!

For this book, Cork heads to the Boundary Waters with the men of the family, him and Stephen, Daniel and Waaboo, and Mal and Luke. Of course, Cork can’t just have a normal fun time where everything goes as planned, correct? Something bad has to happen, and that is exactly the plot. Cork knows something is going down and he is bound to figure it out. He tells the men to leave and get help, and Cork does what Cork does best, track and hunt and make two people’s life a living hell.

In a lot of prior Cork books, Cork has somebody with him, in this one, he did it mostly alone.

Solid book, and, as I mentioned earlier, I hope we get more Cork books.

Now, I am going to read WKKs other books.
