“Nobody knows the woods of Maine like the rugged individuals who eke out a living by hunting, fishing and cutting timber. And nobody knows the region’s inhabitants like Mike Bowditch, the young game warden in Paul Doiron’s manly mysteries.” —New York Times Book Review

“Paul Doiron is shaping up as the Tony Hillerman of the east. . . . presenting central characters who are brave and brainy but all too human and fallible. . . . [Doiron’s] storytelling is controlled and always enthralling. Just like Tony Hillerman’s.” —Toronto Star

The bear trap

Short story about a ranger trying to solve a mystery. I found it to be entertaining.

interesting

This was a nice short interesting book. Recommend for a quick book. It was a fun listen.

Depiction of the outdoors. Interaction of outlaws with the wardens

I like the various ages of the characters. Maine s out of doors has become more familiar.

Great Intro to Doiron’s Work

This works. It’s a good story, so I will now get a full-sized Doiron.
