Open Carry by Marc Cameron

​"Open Carry" by Marc Cameron - Lazy pace! 

This book is published by Pinnacle in 2020 and has 416 pages. This is Book 1 of 'Arliss Cutter series'. 

Arliss Cutter, 4 times divorced Afghan veteran and now US Marshal, takes up assignment in Alaska to take care of his widowed sister-in-law and her three children. He is an expert tracker and has elevated senses. Carmen Delgado is shooting a show in Alaska. Most wanted Drug Cartel boss Camacho is making a trip to Alaska, with his bodyguard Garza, for fishing in a mine he owns. Four people disappear. Cutter and his assistant Lola Fontaine investigate on the remote Prince of Wales island. 

The story is slow. Until the underwater climax it ambles along lazily but just about retains the reader. Life on remote sparsely populated island is slow.

Cutter is always ready for a fight. He is observant, has good senses and secretly likes his sister-in-law. Lola Fontain is divorcing a suspicious husband. January Cross, owner of boat ‘Tide Dancer’ studies whales. Carmen Delgado is shooting a TV show called Fish wives. The show has disturbed the island but has also brought business to it. 

Although the story concludes, it’s the start of Arliss Cutter series. Hopefully next book will be more exciting.
