Heaven’s Keep

I have been binge-reading these books one after the next, so by now I’m familiar with the characters themselves and their voices. In this book instead of character-driven dialogue, everybody just says the words the author wants them to say at that moment; people do things and say things that are out-of-character, the plot is merely driven this way and then that at the author’s convenience. At first I thought it would be fun to see Cork over in Wyoming, in Absaroka County, since I just finished the Longmire mysteries before I started these. But in the end, I am disappointed and over-saturated with illogic and drivel. I’ll read more, just because I’m stubborn that way, but I sure hope Krueger manages to get back in stride.

The narrator killed the story. He didnt portray the characters properly nor did he seem to know how to speak in an easy flowing manner necessary for telling a story. His focus on articulating words destroyed the continuity of the sentences and I went back to reading the story. If I hadnt I would never have finished it.

Reading a story requires the ability to bring it alive and give imaginative substance to the characters. Didnt happen. so I found the narration tedious and lacking anything that kept my interest. If youre going to charge for audible books, youd better get better story tellers who dont kill the characters and visual imagination one enjoys when reading the book.

I am a life long reader – and I read the whole genre of literature from Politics to basket weaving
with one exception, I dont read romance novels. Krugers books, all 18 + of them, are without
exception the overall best writer I have ever read. After reading the first one I was hooked – I now
have all of them. He tells the story in such a way you are there with him, walking in the woods,
or facing whatever obstacles he encounters. He has a sit on the front porch rocking chair demeanor
that comes thru in all of his novels. I have but one promise & that is you wont be disappointed.

I have read all of the Cork OConnell novels (in order) through my last one, Heavens Keep. This story is among my very least favorites in the series so far it was extremely slow until the beginning of the Found section, then it picked up and would never end. Tedious! Anyway, please help me: How did Jo dig herself out of the buried airplane with a mortal wound to her chest?; why did Nightwind spare her out of all the rest in the plane?; and how did she end up in some secret hospice in Mexico? I re-read the last chapters several times and I still cannot find any answers to my questions. Can anyone enlighten me, please?

I am reading this series in order, and have loved them all until Heaven’s Keep. The book moved very slowly, and since Cork was in Wyoming most of the book, none of his regular characters were involved. The plot became very unbelievable and finally had a disappointing ending. I’ll give Krueger one bad book, but I sure hope the next one, Vermilion Drift, gets back in the groove.
