Story
Edgar finalist Paul Doiron's new novel featuring Game Warden Mike Bowditch. On an unseasonably hot October morning, Bowditch is called to the scene of a bizarre crime: the corpses of seven moose have been found senselessly butchered on the estate of Elizabeth Morse, a wealthy animal rights activist who is buying up huge parcels of timberland to create a new national park. What at first seems like mindless slaughter - retribution by locals for the job losses Morse's plan is causing in the region - becomes far more sinister when a shocking murder is discovered.

Warden Investigator Mike Bowditch already has a troubling mystery on his hands: finding the archer who mortally wounded Maine’s only wild wolf. Then he learns his best friend, Billy Cronk, has been released from prison after heroically defending a female guard from a stabbing. Mike comes to believe the assault was orchestrated by a wider criminal conspiracy. When the conspirators pursue Billy's wife and children to a “safe" cabin in the woods, Mike rushes to their defense only to find himself outnumbered, outgunned - and maybe out of options.

Maine Game Warden Mike Bowditch accompanies his old friend and mentor, retired bush pilot Charley Stevens, as he pays a visit to a mysterious woman, the widow of a Vietnam vet, living in isolation in the Maine wilderness. Many years earlier, she had called Charley, then a young game warden himself, for help. She claimed that her badly bleeding husband had been attacked by a rabid bat. But in the succeeding days, despite her husband's increasingly erratic and aggressive behavior, his wife resisted Charley's attempts to help, arousing his suspicions that more was going on than met the eye.

Publisher's Summary
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.

Misinformed about wild turkeys
Author has serious knowledge gap around wild turkeys that taint this book as being non-credible...especially for something supposedly rooted in game wardens. A cheap mystery with some disturbingly graphic sexual content

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.

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.

Poor
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
I cannot imagine why this has been so highly rated. The story is leaden, characters dull and narration lacking in any variety or consistency. Compared to some stories and narration it is sorely lacking.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Yes, I could play it at twice the speed so it lasted half as long.

Another, edge of the seat book by Doiron.
Eerie and suspenseful thriller of cat and mice. Always thrilling sharp turnarounds in who the suspects are or is.
I truly love this series, but unfortunately audible play a game called "NOT AVAILABLE IN YOUR REGION" so unfortunately I will not be able to continue following the series of Bowditch. As the next two editions are not available in the Australian audible library . No The Precipice, or Widowmaker. Big anticlimactic moment. Very disenchanted by who made that call.
Seriously, don't let that deter you from downloading the previous editions by Paul Doiron.
