I discovered the novels of William G. Tapply while at the library on Monday. Now that I have finished reading Cutter’s Run I consider this to be a ‘happy accident’. This was a quick read; nothing too detailed and deep (and after having just finished Duma Key I needed this!). I enjoyed the main character, Brady Coyne, and am happy to know that he is a recurring character in Tapply’s books. Cutter’s Run is the 15th Brady Coyne story, so now I need to go back to the beginning.

WHAT I LIKED ABOUT THE BOOK:
- One thing I enjoyed was the setting of this story… Garrison, Maine. Living in Maine myself, I always enjoy reading about places that I am familiar with. It is easier to envision certain locations when you’ve actually been there!
- For the first half of the book, I was really expecting the story to end up very differently than it did. Tapply got me started down one path and then did a hard left to another place that I did not see coming, and I liked that a lot.
WHAT I DID NOT LIKE ABOUT THE BOOK:
-
Not a big complaint, but I did find that there were a few sections of the story that (while entertaining) were completely unneccesary.
