Books by Paul Doiron

December 7, 2021 by Jim Peacock Leave a Comment

I plan to read a bunch of Paul Doiron’s books so I will simply list them here like I have done with a couple other authors rather than write a review of each book.

The Poacher’s Son -Doiron’s first book and first one I read. Loved it. (November 2021)

Trespasser – A woman dies. Somehow it is tied to another woman’s death a few years before…and somehow Mike Bowditch the Maine Game Warden is involved. (December 2021)

Bad Little Falls – Another great story of Mike Bowditch the Maine Game Warden who finds himself in trouble again. This time he is Down East near Machias in the winter with a couple of frozen guys in a bog, one lives…or maybe he doesn’t. I love that Doiron writes about Maine in the woods and he tells a great crime scene style story and I spend most of the book trying to figure out “who done it”…only to be surprised again at the ending. (December 2021)

Massacre Pond – Someone killed a bunch of moose and left the right where they dropped. All the usual suspects were there but the police and warder service could not figure it out…until Mike Bowditch gets involved in his own special way. (February 2022)

The Bone Orchard – Holy crap, he quits the Warden service. No this can’t be! Don’t worry, he still has a gun and works in the woods. And don’t worry, he has a nose for trouble finding him or Bowditch finding the trouble. This may be my favorite so far, I never saw the twists and turns…I even cried a couple of times. (March 2022)

The Bear Trap – This book is not available in print and is a short story based upon the Great Pond hermit who lived in the Belgrade Lakes area for 30 years. He stole from camps so he could live in the woods. Doiron adds an interesting twist. It is available for free at Amazon. (April)

The Precipice – Murders on the Appalachian Trail and Bowditch is on the search and rescue team but, of course, it gets more complicated than that. Lots of suspects in this one…but who did it? (I know 🙂 (April)

Widowmaker – There is a wolf involved with this one. Not quite sure why, but there is. And yes, a bunch of people die…some by accident, some by a guy…or is it a group of guys? (May)

Knife Creek – I skipped a couple of books because Bull Moose didn’t have them. So now he has a new girlfriend. Someone who didn’t care for him one bit in Massacre Pond. This was a real thriller of a book that in some places scared the crap out of me :O Sorry, I nearly swear there. I could not figure out how we was going to get out of the last predicament he was in. There really seemed like no way out, but of course, Mike Bowditch did it. Or did he?(June)

Rabid – Yikes! Short story about a guy who gets bit by a bat and his Vietnamese wife who he brought back after the war seems extremely nervous about him getting rabies…for a good reason. (July)

Stay Hidden -This book takes place on Maquoit Island off the coast of Maine near Brunswick. And yes, someone dies. It ain’t who you think it is and someone on the island knows who done it. Mike Bowditch has to deal with the island people who often dislike (hate) each other but refuse to help mainlanders. (July)

Backtrack – (Kindle only short story)

Almost Midnight – His buddy Billy Cronk is having issues in prison and Mike tries to help. But things quickly get out of control. Oh yeah, and his wolf reappears from Widowmaker. Because I have not read them in order, I’m missing some of the love problems he’s had but the stories are still great. (September)

The Imposter – (Kindle only short story)

One Last Lie – Oh my! Charley Stevens, the retired warden and father-figure to Mike has a lie? And then he disappears for days without telling anyone where he’s going! And yes, someone dies…but you probably already guessed that 🙂 (October 2022)

The Caretaker –

Dead by Dawn – He’s dead for sure…no way can he get out of this mess. As always so many twists and turns you don’t know what’s really going on until the end. We’ve got a wolf, a trailer park, snowmobiles racing, people getting shot, and ….some bad people don’t make the end of the book. I could not put this one down at the end. (December 2022)

Skin and Bones –

Hatchet Island –
