Resumen del Editor

In the aftermath of a family tragedy, Mike Bowditch has left the Maine Warden Service and is working as a fishing guide in the North Woods. But when his mentor Sgt. Kathy Frost is forced to kill a troubled war veteran in an apparent case of "suicide by cop," he begins having second thoughts about his decision.

Now Kathy finds herself the target of a government inquiry and outrage from the dead soldier's platoon mates. Soon she finds herself in the sights of a sniper, as well. When the sergeant is shot outside her farmhouse, Mike joins the hunt to find the mysterious man responsible. To do so, the ex-warden must plunge into his friend's secret past—even as a beautiful woman from Mike's own past returns, throwing into jeopardy his tentative romance with wildlife biologist Stacey Stevens.

As Kathy Frost lies on the brink of death and a dangerous shooter stalks the blueberry barrens of central Maine, Bowditch is forced to confront the choices he has made and determine, once and for all, the kind of man he truly is, in The Bone Orchard by Paul Doiron.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Hurtles through a rural Maine landscape so well evoked you can feel the black flies biting and hear the warblers in the bushes.” —Book Page

“Excellent . . . a murder case with some truly wicked twists. Dorion matches strong characters with effective prose and subtle characterizations. Fans of Steve Hamilton's Alex McKnight series, likewise set in a remote region close to Canada, will find a lot to like.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Bad Little Falls is a jewel of a book. Doiron has gotten it all magnificently right: a hell of a good mystery, beautifully drawn landscape and characters so evocatively written they follow you off the page. Buy this. The guy can write.” —Nevada Barr, New York Times bestselling author of Rope

great book

as usual I enjoyed this series, always looking forward to the next one! check it out

Great book

This book was another great addition to the series. It wont disappoint. Cant wait for read the next.

Excellent Book - solid series

This is the best book yet in the series. You expected an author to get better over time, but it isn't always the case. Doiron does get better both in writing and story-telling. I am very glad I started the series and enjoyed every book. Mr. Levya needs some work on his Maine accent, but so does everyone not poor in Maine.

I love this series .

I love this series., from the story to the performance. Bring a New Englander it brings me home.

Great story with great narrator.

I try and always select books out of a series that uses the same narrator. That become the tangible characteristic of the character. I can only imagine what Mike Bowditch looks like. BUT I KNOW WHAT HE SOUNDS LIKE. And will come back for more.

Great story well done

I think the story was great . I will have to admit it made me laugh and cry. I can’t wait until the next episode. Thanks

Great plot

The usual interesting characters I've come to expect and like. Good plot; good Maine tidbits. Things moved right along!

Best of Bowditch

I enjoyed this story more than many of the prior books in the series. I read or listened to 10 books in the Bowditch series and this one was the best start to finish. It pulls together missing pieces from the prior books.

Best yet

This has been the best book in the series so far! There was a twist to the story I did not see coming and the characters are amazing.

wonderful book by a favorite author

Doiron's books started great and they keep getting better. Our hero, Mike Bowditch, is at a low point in his life. When a devoted mentor is shot, Mike adds some of his injured friend's burdens to his ongoing efforts to care for an absent friend's family. On this course, clues about the shooter start showing up.
I love how the exigencies of solving a crime are interwoven with Mike's day-to-day efforts to both be a good man and become a better man.
I love spending time with this hero and with the friends he gathers around him. I love seeing Maine natural beauty and gentle friendliness through the lenses of Mike and the author.
I highly recommend all the Mike Bowditch stories.
