Since the violent deaths of his wife, father, and best friend all occurred in previous Novembers, Cork O'Connor has always considered it to be the cruelest of months. Yet, his daughter has chosen this dismal time of year in which to marry, and Cork is understandably uneasy.
His concern comes to a head when a man camping in Minnesota's Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness goes missing. As the official search ends with no recovery in sight, Cork is asked by the man's family to stay on the case. Although the wedding is fast approaching and the weather looks threatening, he accepts and returns to that vast wilderness on his own.
I did enjoy this book but I would have to say that it is not one of his best books. I liked reading about the family getting ready for Jennie's wedding but the main plot really didn't hold my attention too much. It lacked the excitement of some of the other books and I was a bit bored throughout. The writing was the same and I loved his descriptions where you feel like you are part of the story. I do look forward to the next book and would recommend this series as it is one of my favorite. I will forgive Mr. Krueger and just hope for a better story next time.
