Can hardly wait for the next book, have for years gotten them all. Surprising since I am basically a nonreader of novels. Was told I am a groupy! Feels like Cork is a long time friend. Totally enjoy the accurate information shared in the writings. Please just keep them coming. Huge THANK YOU.

I have been reading the Cork O’Conner series. I get them from the library and enjoyed them right away. Unfortunately I started out reading them out of order. My question is one book ended with Cork on the run (unfinished story line) I don’t remember the name of this book so I don’t know what book comes next. I’ve gone through the list of 17 books and read the discription of the stories but this didn’t help. What I need to know is what book would have the continuation of this story line? Obviously I’ve been enjoying these books very much and still have several books yet to read (all out of sequence) The author does a great job letting the reader know things that happened in the past with out spoiling someone like myself who is reading out of order. Hope you can help me with this….Thank you

The one that ends with Cork on the run is Mercy Falls. The next book, which picks up where that one left off, is Copper River.
