🎉🎉𝑯𝑨𝑷𝑷𝒀 𝑩𝑶𝑶𝑲 𝑩𝑰𝑹𝑻𝑯𝑫𝑨𝒀!!!🎉🎉!!!

💯𝑊𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑎𝑚 𝐾𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝐾𝑟𝑢𝑒𝑔𝑒𝑟 has quickly risen to the top of my must-read authors list. A master storyteller, Krueger lures his readers in with his lyrical descriptions and imaginative narratives.

✔His newest novel is no exception... a mosaic of cozy mystery, historical fiction, and coming-of-age adventure - this one has it all! I was intrigued from the get-go as I followed young Corcoran O'Connor through the winding road to his discovery alongside his dad. With a motley cast of characters, this novel moved along at a quick clip and had some unexpected surprises en route. I appreciated that there was plenty to throw me off the scent and each time I had someone pegged, I turned out to be wrong.

🤷‍♀️I must admit, I'm not much of a cozy mystery reader, but now, thanks to Mr. Krueger, I can certainly understand the lure. To boot, I learned quite a bit about the Indian Relocation Act of 1956 and what it did to the Native American Community... so incredibly tragic.

😲I honestly had no idea this was a prequel to his 17-book series until I just looked it up on Amazon to review! All I knew was that I was so taken with 𝑇ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑇𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑟 𝐿𝑎𝑛𝑑, that I was beyond thrilled when Atria Books gifted me with this Advance Reader's Edition. Thank you so much!
