Welcome to Litsy!

Solid first book launching the Mike Bowditch series. Set in Maine, Bowditch works as a game warden. One morning he gets a call that he‘s father‘s been arrested, accused of killing two people. Bowditch doesn‘t believe it for a minute and sets out, even when faced with the unrelenting criticism of people he knows, to prove his father‘s innocence. Secrets & lies & the past collide in this well-written mystery. I‘ll continue with the series.

Next up…

Action- packed mystery involving a young game warden and his estranged father. I look forward to more books in this series.

A weekend of summer hockey practices in Birmingham for my son (the ice where he normally plays isn't there all year) means I'm reading in the coldest building I've been in for months. I picked this up on vacation in Maine because it's set there and I wanted to read it while the place was still fresh in my mind--also, it takes place in August.

Maine game warden Mike Bowditch risks everything to investigate murders for which his estranged father may be responsible.

Many compare Doiron to Nevada Barr. I‘ve read all of the Anna Pigeon books — I think Paul Doiron May be better.

Good intro into the Mike Bowditch series. Maine Game Wardens. Adults.

Figured since I read the newest in the series, I should go back and start at the beginning, and it was a great start to the series. I liked seeing how the relationship between Charley and Mike started. Now onto number 2 in the series.

I loved this book, a perfect fast paced mystery. I can‘t wait to revisit the characters in book #2.

I‘m very excited to start this series...purchased books 2-9(?-it may be more, is it horrible I can‘t remember?!? I have a problem) at my local used book store and finally got this one in the mail to kick it all off.

So....I guess I love this series! You guys, life has been hella crazy up in here - end of a 7-year relationship, purchase of my first home, three consecutive weekends of moving our stuff to our respective and separate places (buy stock in Uhaul! DO IT NOW!), a dog with separation anxiety, and as much hunkering-down-with-a-good-book as possible. I live in Maine and these crime novels are fixin‘ what ails me! Hard crush on Warden Mike Bowditch. 😘

I've been having bad luck choosing good books lately. I finally found a winner. Couldn't put it down. A story about a Maine Game Warden- but oh so much more. Definitely worth a read!
