Paul Doiron has delivered yet again with Skin and Bones: And Other Mike Bowditch Short Stories! This is a gripping, wonderfully written, vividly detailed, and entertaining short story collection featuring Mike Bowditch and Charley Stevens. Some were new to me and a few I had read previously. For fans of the Mike Bowditch series, this short story collection will be a gripping and entertaining read. This book shows both Charley and Mike doing what they do best. Readers will get to see a younger Charley in some of the stories as he began his career.
The short stories in this book are: THE BEAR TRAP, RABID, BACKTRACK, THE IMPOSTER, THE CARETAKER, SKIN AND BONES, SNAKEBIT, and SHEEP’S CLOTHING. With short story collections there will always be some that readers enjoy more than others. That is true with this book as well. My two favorites were THE BEAR TRAP and RABID. Having said that, all the short stories are enjoyable and wonderfully written.
If Paul Doiron writes it, I am going to read it! The Mike Bowditch series is one of my favorite book series of all time.
Thank you to Minotaur Books and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
