This is a really good series. Marc Cameron can spin the action better than most and his writing is far above most of the authors in this genre. His descriptions of the Alaskan wilderness, scenery and cold are characters themselves.

Bone Rattle, the third in this series, begins a bit slowly, I thought. But eventually, it picks up and a few of the side plots all weave together. There is one issue I felt unresolved, though, about his sister-in-law's daughter. The daughter is faced with friends who like drugging and she's on that edge about what to do. Maybe it's a way to lead into the fourth book.

There's also a budding possible romance between Cutter and Mim that's been growing since the first novel. Mim was married to Cutter's brother who died in a drilling accident. Cutter is making sure Mim is okay and helping with her kids; it appears headed for more than just ol' Uncle Cutter coming over.

The action at the end is high paced and pretty nerve-wracking. If you're claustrophobic, there's a terrifying scene in which Cutter tries to escape a collapsed mine by swimming through a flooded underground tunnel without really knowing if there's air at the other end. Yeegads, that was rough.

To me, this is a far better series than the Reacher series or pretty much any other action/ mystery novels.
