Game Warden Mike Bowditch of the Maine Dept. of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife is called to the scene of a horrific animal crime on an unseasonably hot October day. The crime scene is on the massive estate of a despised entrepreneur who wants to turn more than 100,000 acres of remote Maine into a national park—stopping all logging on the land. The tightly constructed plot provides enough possible suspects to keep the action moving quickly. Doiron (Bad Little Falls) also easily evokes the atmosphere of rural deep woods and the people who live and survive there. Henry Leyva has a keen ear for the various accents of the Northeast, but the voice of the main character is too neutral in comparison.
VERDICT Overall, this is a great addition to the series. Recommended for mystery collections.
