The Precipice

A Novel

De: Paul Doiron

Narrado por: Henry Levya

In this riveting new novel from Edgar finalist Paul Doiron, Bowditch joins a desperate search for two missing hikers as Maine wildlife officials deal with a frightening rash of coyote attacks.

When two female hikers disappear in the Hundred Mile Wilderness—the most remote stretch along the entire Appalachian Trail—Maine game warden Mike Bowditch joins the desperate search to find them.

Hope turns to despair after two unidentified corpses are discovered—their bones picked clean by coyotes. Do the bodies belong to the missing hikers? And were they killed by the increasingly aggressive wild dogs?

Soon, all of Maine is gripped with the fear of killer coyotes. But Bowditch has his doubts. His new girlfriend, wildlife biologist Stacey Stevens, insists the scavengers are being wrongly blamed. She believes a murderer may be hiding in the offbeat community of hikers, hippies, and woodsmen at the edge of the Hundred Mile Wilderness. When Stacey herself disappears along the Appalachian Trail, the hunt for answers becomes personal.

Can Mike Bowditch find the woman he loves before the most dangerous animal in the North Woods strikes again?

Reseñas de la Crítica

“A high-stakes, high-tension yarn in which you keep wishing everything would turn out fine for the deeply flawed, deeply sympathetic hero.” —Kirkus

“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)

The story is great, really enjoyed it.

I live in the state that these stories take place. The reader needs to do some research before reading. It distracts from the story when the reader constantly mispronounces a number of different names and places.

Great!

I am truly enjoying this series. Mike Bowditch as a Maine game warden is a great story line and the narration is fantastic. I’m listening to it on Audible and I can’t wait to download the next in the series. I love them!!!

good read

My only issue is with pronunciation. It always will be. Living in central Maine, I crinkle my nose when I hear people from away say PiscataKISS, BANG OR, OGUSTA, PASSAMAQUO DEE. I would like better diction on that. Intonations and delivery were very good. I guess if you're not from Maine you wouldn't know.

Suspenseful and Riveting

As usual Paul kept us on the edge of the mystery. Just as you thought you knew.... a new twist! Vivid descriptions help paint the picture of the scenes and bring each place and character into clear view in my mind's eye!

The twists in the story that keeps you guessing

Paul did a fantastic job with all the twists and turns of the story line. Each character were well developed and had their own history and depth. We also enjoyed listening to the narrator. He does am amazing job with variations of his voice so you know which character is speaking and etc.

very entertaining

Love the characters, good action and great story line. Learned alot about the Appalachian Trail.

Enjoyable!

one of my favorites, plenty of twists and turns to keep your interest. highly recommend

Christophobic

I have really enjoyed this series, but I’m ready for a break. I have so many questions: Sadly, Christians are written as one dimensional bad guy cartoons, rather than real people. I’m not sure why. I’m not sure why so many characters are lesbian. Is that a Maine thing? I don’t think the author has given us any reason for Mike to be so smitten by his girlfriend. It’s just odd. I was pleased to see Mike starting to get some respect by his fellow wardens.

Great book

One of my favorites in the series so far. Perfectly narrated also. Cant wait for the next book.

Good One

This book was really good. All of his books are pretty good, but this one is exceptional very entertaining.
