NY Times bestselling author Bill Geist gives us a witty "coming of age" type of memoir chronicling his summers during high school and college, working at the Arrowhead Lodge on the Lake of the Ozarks. In the 1960s, the Lake of the Ozarks, while a destination for many Midwesterners, hadn't really been commercialized like it is now, which gives us a somewhat romantic picture of the way things were "back then."

My Minnesota roots get to be stimulated by Krueger, with his book set in the woods and lakes of northern MN. Cork O'Conner, a private investigator, and the Ojibwe community are puzzled by the immediate involvement of the FBI in the investigation of an airplane crash which kills the State Senator and her family. How did the plane go down? Why are all of the local people being interviewed and followed? What does Cork's son Stephen see in his vision? Who is telling lies, and why are they trying to cover up the cause of this airplane crash? The questions keep piling; it appears that the story will be completely buried. Krueger keeps me reading to the last chapter!

Jordan suspects this "Austrian" woman, her dad marries, of not being who she claimed to be, especially with a little girl who doesn't seem to love her "mother."
