Jo lost on an airplane ( ) 4 1/2 stars rounded up because it was a great story in spite of a slight shortcoming (in my opinion). This was a sad story from beginning to end. It starts off with Cork fighting to keep Sam's Place, his burger hut by the lake that he loves. The main access road has been closed by a development company that wants to build condos on the lake, he's trying to sue, and his wife isn't too happy about the prospect of spending boatloads of money for lawyers, but she, a lawyer herself, is not up to fighting a rich corporation. Cork is thinking about taking on a job as a lawman again, and she's also unhappy about that. She leaves for a business trip on an angry note, without saying goodbye. This makes both of them unhappy, but that's just the beginning. The nightmare about leaving mad is that if something happens, you will forever regret it, and when the plane goes off the radar in a big storm over the mountains, the nightmare comes true. That could have been the end of the story, but it wouldn't have been a very good one. Fortunately, it is - a good one, that is. Certain facts come to light, and eventually the story gets interesting. I subtracted half a star simply because there was a bit too much of the supernatural element that I think detracts from a serious story, but it didn't really make it a bad story. I just had to overcome my aversion, and it wasn't hard. There's always a bit of it in these stories, mostly from Cork's old friend Henry. Also, it seems like the "final solution" never comes, unless I missed it; only a promise Cork makes to find the people at the top that are responsible. I guess we can assume they were dealt with. Many unexpected twists including he ending. Krueger is straying into Longmire country although I had no idea if he is even familiar with the series. The story revolves around a plane crash with a lane that remains missing no Cork’s efforts to find it because his wife was a passenger. He is searching fo closure while trying to keep hope alive. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

Intrepid hero Cork O'Connor faces the most harrowing mission of his life when a charter plane carrying his wife, Jo, goes missing in a snowstorm over the Wyoming Rockies. Months after the tragedy, two women show up on Cork's doorstep with evidence that the pilot of Jo's plane was not the man he claimed to be. It may not be definitive proof, but it's a ray of light in the darkness. Agreeing to investigate, Cork travels to Wyoming, where he battles the interference of local law enforcement who may be on the take, the open hostility of the Northern Arapaho, who have much to lose if the truth is known, and the continuing attempts on his life by assassins who shadow his every move. At the center of all the danger and deception lies the possibility that Jo's disappearance was not the end of her, that somewhere along the labyrinthine path of his search, maybe even in the broad shadow of Heaven's Keep itself, Cork will find her alive and waiting for him.
