Gripping, mysterious, and hard to put down, Blaze Orange is a thrilling short story by Paul Doiron. I am a huge fan of his Mike Bowditch series and fans of that series will be pleased to read and/or listen to this short story which takes place in the past and features Maine game warden, Charley Stevens and rookie warden Kathy Frost! Woohoo! I have enjoyed getting to know both of them in the Mike Bowditch series, and it was lovely to get to see them working in their younger days!
1990s Maine
A man is shot and killed during deer season. The shooting appears to be a horrible mistake as the victim is dressed all in brown and the shooter is a respected member of the community. As Charley and Kathy begin to investigate, they uncover things that do not add up.
This short story was full of tension, mystery, and dread. As with Paul Doiron’s other books, I found Blaze Orange to be wonderfully written and well thought out. I have always enjoyed Charley Steven’s and enjoyed seeing him in action in this book solving a case along with Kathy Frost.
I had the audiobook for Blaze Orange and enjoyed Henry Leyva’s narration. He did a great job of bringing the characters to life.
Thank you to Macmillan Audio 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.
