LIGHTNING STRIKE Cork O'Connor, Book 18

This audiobook highlights the unique bond between a father and son and how society's preconceptions interfere with and ultimately strengthen that bond. Narrated masterfully by David Chandler, this prequel to William Kent Krueger's Cork O'Connor series grabs listeners and ensures a rapt audience from start to finish. Chandler's understated style captures the relationship between 12-year old Cork and his father, Sheriff Liam O'Connor. The audiobook also highlights the prejudices and emotions that erupt in rural Minnesota when the sheriff must investigate the death of a man while also preserving his son's respect. Chandler uses a measured pace and well-timed inflections to bring the story to its satisfying conclusion. D.J.S. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2022]
