Mike’s in hot water – or, rather, cold water. In the first several paragraphs, we witness warden investigator Mike Bowditch hit metal spikes tossed onto the road for his benefit, skid off a corner, and plunge into the icy Androscoggin River. Part survival story, part multi-threaded mystery thriller, and Doiron’s best work to date answers the burning (or freezing) questions of how Mike ended up in this predicament, whether he can survive against all odds (again), and whether he and Stacey are going to FINALLY get together. Start reading this one early in the evening, because you’re going to be up until you finish it!
This book is #12 in the Mike Bowditch series. If you haven’t already, make sure you start with the first book, The Poacher’s Son.
