Review: "Dead by Dawn," Paul Doiron

 

By Paul Carrier

Mike Bowditch, the protagonist in Paul Doiron’s Maine-based mysteries, has encountered his share of bad guys in the eleven novels that preceded Dead by Dawn, the latest in the series. But this time out, he has to grapple with some of the most deranged psychos ever to cross his path.

A game warden who works as a detective for the Maine Warden Service, Bowditch finds himself reopening the four-year-old case of an elderly man who is believed to have drowned in a hunting accident, amid allegations that the victim, Eben Chamberlain, was murdered.

Dead by Dawn is the very definition of a page-turner, thanks to a high level of suspense, a likable main character readers are sure to root for and the novel’s vivid portrayal of the state that Bowditch—and Doiron—call home.
