Title: Usual very good work by Kreuger
Review: This author takes the same small town in far northern Minnesota and the same lead character, who is in or on the fringe of being sheriff all the time, and creates novel stories each time, more than a dozen of them. I always rate them 4 stars, taking one off for minor imperfections such as a few too many named characters for the average reader to remember the basic facts about each of them until they've read 3 or 4, occasional very minor slips on grammar or technical issues (though he's almost flawless on the latter and covers a dozen technical fields e.g., guns, fly fishing, mining, shipping). Unlike other top serial writers e.g., Lee Child, he has so far resisted the temptation to let a ghostwriter step into his shoes for a whole book (or to write a book that looks as if a ghostwriter did it). And his hero has enough human flaws to be more real than most serial heros. May he keep up the good work!
