Paul Doiron never disappoints! Seriously, I love this series and his writing. He transports me to Maine and into the life and work of game warden, Mike Bowditch. This book grabbed my attention from the very beginning, and I was glued to the pages the entire book.
In Massacre Pond, Mike Bowditch is called to the estate of Elizabeth Morse, an animal rights activist who has been buying up land in order to make a new national park. On the grounds of the estate, Mike finds the bodies of seven massacred moose. What first seems like payback from locals after losing jobs due to Morse buying up land, turns into so much more!
This is one of my favorite series and I love how Doiron describes the Maine landscape and the ins and outs of Mike’s job as a game warden. Mike continues to work hard, while faced with hard decisions he must make in this book which could affect his relationships. I enjoy how he turns to his mentor Charlie not only for friendship but for advice. I also enjoyed his friendship with Billy and his wife Amy.
The mystery in this book was intriguing and I enjoyed coming up with my own suspects as Mike did the same in this book.
This is book #4 in the series, and I have enjoyed going back and reading the earlier books in the series that I have missed.
Such a great series that I highly recommend.
