The Detective in the Dooryard

Reflections of a Maine Cop

De: Timothy A. Cotton

Narrado por: Timothy A. Cotton

Tim Cotton has been a police officer for more than 30 years. The writer in him has always been drawn to the stories of the people he has met along the way. Dealing with the standard issue ne’er-do-wells as a patrol officer, homicide detective, polygraph examiner, and later as the lieutenant in charge of the criminal investigation division certainly provides an interesting backdrop - but more often he writes about the regular folks he encounters, people who need his help, or those who just want to share a joke or even a sad story.

The Detective in the Dooryard is composed of stories about the people, places, and things of Maine. There are sad stories, big events, and even the very mundane, all told from the perspective of a seasoned police officer and in the wry voice of a lifelong Mainer. Many of the stories will leave you chuckling, some will invariably bring tears to your eyes, but all will leave you with a profound sense of hope and positivity.

Enjoyable PD stories

I own this book in hard copy but when I saw that it was available to be consumed as read by the author I could t resist.

What an enjoyable book! I laughed so much! As a Mainer, the homey references were gold.

I can’t wait to enjoy Got Warrants with my next credit!!!

As expected... a delight to listen to!

My only complaint about the book is that I wanted to hear more. TC's observations of the the goings on of a Maine cop still delight and amuse me just like his musings on his Facebook pages. His simple appreciation of the important things in life are refreshing and worth the pause to just stop and listen. I would love to hear more from him in the future.

Highly Recommended!

Loved this book! Highly recommended! Detective from Bangor, Maine writes about his experiences with a great sense of humor. Once you get started, it was tough to put down. Keeping this one in my collection.

I really enjoyed

Mike Rowe recommended this book on his Facebook account. It sounded like a fun read, light and funny. Exactly what I experienced.

Very Enjoyable

The Detective in the Dooryard is so easy to listen to. It gives you a great feeling inside to hear these stories. I would highly recommend.
