Almost Midnight

Vacation. Maine Game Warden Mike Bowditch is on something of a busman’s holiday in the 10th installment of this series by Paul Doiron, a novel titled, Almost Midnight. Lots of characters from the earlier novel are back, including a wolf and dog hybrid, Shadow. As with the earlier novels, the protagonist is a complex and engaging character who’s easy for readers to like and root for. Doiron’s description of the Maine setting will make readers feel the places come alive, and the plots are consistently entertaining. While on vacation when Mike is asked to help a friend, his initial reaction is hesitation. Loyalty wins out, and readers set off with Mike on another rule-breaking exciting adventure.
