Product Description

From Amazon.com

Anyone who cut some of their genre eyeteeth on the excellent books about the fishing, hunting, and crime-solving (in that order of preference) Boston lawyer Brady Coyne will be delighted to hear that William G. Tapply has brought him back for another mystery that combines expert entertainment with some serious social issues. Sharing a house in Maine with his "virtual spouse," writer Alexandria Shaw, Coyne gives a tough, independent African American woman named Charlotte Gillespie a lift and an offer of help finding the person who poisoned her dog. When Charlotte disappears and red swastikas are painted on her house and on Coyne's car, he--and we--know that something nasty is going on. The complicated plot involves a connection to the KKK and a bunch of deer-hunting, conniving computer scientists, and along the way Coyne gets to fish in several heartbreakingly beautiful locations. Other Coyne books include the equally satisfying Close to the Bone. --Dick Adler --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


From AudioFile

Brady Coyne is a Boston lawyer with a noisy disposition. In this latest mystery, Brady finds himself in western Maine investigating swastikas and a dead dog and a missing woman. Though this is good fun, reader John Michalski is no Mainer. His Maine accent, which he insists on giving nearly everyone in the book, is painfully flawed. He didn't do his homework either when it comes to place names; they are butchered. A real example of the wrong reader ruining a book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, Jun 30 2004
By A Customer
I bought this book expecting a lot. I have read Snake Eater, The Seventh Enemy, and Close to the Bone, other novels in the Brady Coyne series. I loved them all. This book is not even in the same league. In this story, we have a middle aged African-American woman with a Tennessee accent who looks like Lena Horne, exactly the same as Cammie in Snake Eater. We have Brady's friend Charlie finding information on his computer about Brady's suspects and then getting in trouble with the Federal government because the suspects are CIA/FBI whatever, just like in Snake Eater. In the end, the guilty parties arn't prosecuted because of a big government cover up, just like Snake Eater again. Even if you haven't read other books in the Brady Coyne series, this is a disappointment. The plot is not believable. I won't go into detail so as not to spoil the book for you if you should decide to buy it, but believe me, the plot is not remotely plausible. The synapsis on the back cover is just plain wrong. The front cover looks like something from Logan's Run, but Cutters Run has nothing to do with running. I may try one of the other books in the series, but I would not recommend this one.

3.0 out of 5 stars Dented Coyne, Jul 5 2000
By John Cragg (Delta(greater Vancouver), B.C Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
In this one, both Brady Coyne and especially Tapply seem to be a bit world-weary. The plotting is weaker and more forced than usual in Tapply's books and the development and especially the denouement of his mystery is much weaker than we have come to expect from Tapply. Coyne spending a lot of time wondering like some big-city Jimmy Carter about sexual desires for another woman gets a bit tiresome. Still Tapply makes for easy reading and Coyne is one of the most interesting of such series characters.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very good, Jan 12 2000
By Susan Bumbalo (Camden, Maine USA) - See all my reviews
CUTTER'S RUN is very good, although not quite as good as the rest of the books in the series. Over the last couple years I ahve forced myself to leisurely read this series, because I enjoy it so much and don't want to run out of Brady Coyne mysteries. Alas, I have just the current one remaining. These books are written intelligently and exceedingly well. Brady is like an old friend. Tapply deserves to be a best-seller; his books are so much better than the drivel by Grisham and other mystery/thriller writers.
