Kate’s 2¢: “This Tender Land” by William Kent Krueger

“This Tender Land” by William Kent Krueger

Kate’s 2¢: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as,     describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read.  I’m just saying…

   The way Scott Brick narrated this book kept me listening almost without a stop. I’ll look for other books he’s narrated.

   I wasn’t able to find “Original Grace” by William Kent Krueger in an accessible format, but “This Tender Land” was. I really enjoyed following the escapades of the four vagabonds and how the seemingly disparate events tied together in the end.

   Rather enlightening and frightening!  How a dreamed up fiction got turned upside down and became fact and the deadly results, not to mention the thrilling chases, mystery, and murders.
