Open Carry

Open Carry by Marc Cameron            Audio Book:  11 hours, 31 mins.   Mass Market Paperback:  448 pages                    

Good mystery novel.    I found out today it is the first in the Arliss Cutter Novels.    Good characters, believeable scenarios and often funny dialogue.   The author speaks with knowledge and authority come to find out he spent 29 years in law enforcement so he knows that of which he speaks, also, he has been on assignments just about everywhere in the northern hemisphere so I am sure he has a lot of stories he can make into books.    When a reality t.v. series called, “Fish Wives,” comes to Alaska it was a love /hate relationship.   Many locals saw it as a boom for tourist trade others thought the disruption to people’s lives and industry, not to mention the attitudes of the staff, crew and some of the talent brought in pissed off area locals.    And as happens in with the good came some low lifes, letches,  pedophiles, kidnappers all disguised under new names and identities though their proclivities were still active.   Throw in a drug cartel for extra measure, lots of salty types, former hippies and biological explorers – it makes for a very entertaining novel.    I highly recommend this book if you like mysteries,  there are so many potential killers here all with motives.    A good read, very good author.  I will be looking up number 2 in the series.
