Bad River by Marc Cameron
Arliss Cutter #6
Excellent ~ Wonderful addition to the Series ~ Couldn’t put it down!
What I liked:
* Arliss: U.S. Marshall, ex-military, strong, capable, lethal, team player, there for his family and friends, hunter of men, lives by his Grandpa Grumpy’s rules and shares them with his nieces and nephews, a man I would want on my side
* Lola: U.S. Marshall, partnered often with Arliss, in a relationship with Joe Bill Brackett, strong, focused, great at her work, thinks of Arliss as a big brother, from “Down Under”, growing as the series progresses
* The prologue of missing Willadean and how it played into the plot – she had so much to live for and then was suddenly gone
* Catching up with Arliss’s widowed sister-in-law Mim, his niece and nephews, finding out how they are doing, and the way the relationship between Arliss and Mim is progressing
* The plot, pacing, setting, and writing
* The Dupree thread in the story and how he was eventually taken down
* Finding out how and why Arliss’s brother Ethan died/was murdered
* Tony Caprese: newbie pilot who finds himself and grows a pair in this story – would like to see him again
* Detective Jan Hough: strong, resilient, went through a lot, hope she shows up in the future
* The police procedural aspects of the story and the way everything was tied up
* Too many things to list, actually
What I didn’t like:
* Who and what I was meant not to like
* Thinking about the ways a person can die in Alaska…oh my!
* Thinking about the evil people are willing to do for greed…and the crimes in this book
Did I like this book? Yes
Would I read more in this series? Definitely
Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Books for the ARC – This is my honest review.

I'd argue this is one of the more action packed books about our friend Arliss Cutter. Following multiple case threads in addition to the heavy amount of graphic violence keeps the book clipping at a fast pace. There's some big development moments for Mim, so for those of us who have been wanting to see more from her, this is her come up.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the advanced copy. Bad River is the sixth book in the Arliss Cutter series. I have enjoyed the previous installments and this one was no exception. Bad River follows Cutter as he investigates his brother’s murder. From the remote villages of rural Alaska to South Dakota, the story is engaging. Although I had a little trouble getting into the book, once I reached around 10%, I did not want to put the book down. I can’t wait for the next installment.
