U.S. Deputy Arliss Cutter has been assigned to escort four dangerous prisoners back to Fairbanks. Stranded in the Alaskan wilderness with three violent prisoners, Supervisory Deputy US Marshal Arliss Cutter becomes the h8nted in a desperate fight for survival…. ( )

Cold Snap is book four in the Arliss Cutter series. While it is exciting, one had to suspend credulity when the US Marshall's contracted pilot swooped in on a mistress living in the wild, while carrying four shackled dangerous prisoners. He really was a "mutt". Then, the predictable crash occurs and survival with the prisoners began with a convenient snow storm. While not boring, it dragged on and on until the end. ( )

I really enjoy this series. It’s well written and has characters that are interesting. I listened to the audiobook version because the narrator is David Chandler who is just so good. Can’t wait for the next installment! ( )

This is book 4 in the series, which I didn't know before beginning it. I think it would have helped to read the earlier books to understand some of the character's back stories and relationships. However, it could be read without knowing that info.
This is set against the cold backdrop of Alaska's wilderness. The team of Arliss Cutter and his partner Lola Teariki are chasing a killer after finding a human foot in Anchorage. In remote Deadhorse, Cutter is escorting prisoners to Fairbanks. But, the pilot takes a detour, and the plane goes down. Now, Cutter must deal with the prisoners, as well as the bleak wilderness including grizzly bears and wolves. It is a non-stop action thriller, and the ending is a cliffhanger. ( )

Deputy US Marshal, Arliss Cutter is a long way from Florida where he and his brother were raised by a loving but ‘Grumpy” grandfather who was a Florida Marine Patrol Officer. The book opens with a short history of how Cutter got to be the man who believes “Bad men gotta pay.”

Set in Alaska you get a sense of how the territory and weather is all controlling and not in a great way. Some of the characters from the previous installment of the Arliss Cutter series are featured in “Cold Snap” which lends continuity in tone and direction. The last book I read in this series was “Stone Cross” and much like that book the action in “Cold Snap” is swift, powerful and merciless. There is so much going on in this story and most of it is bad. it seems as if every way forward means sinking in four feet of snow not to mention there is a bear hunting the humans and there are humans hunting other humans, except they are more monstera than humans and it is going to be very bad, very dangerous and very nasty.

This book was rougher, less polished and not as significant as some of Cameron’s other installments. The undercurrent of a possible stale homicide needed to be explored or omitted as the snippets and bread crumbs that were dropped were a distraction. It is obvious that this will be the storyline of a future installment and is probably the story that should have been told sooner

I am rounding up because it was so much better than mediocre. Thank you NetGalley and Kensington Publishing for a copy. ( )
