Skin and Bones by Paul Doiron contains a number of short stories about Mike Bowditch and his mentor Charley Stevens. The stories all take place in Maine – mostly northern Maine. The stories contain a number of characters who might have been trying to avoid the Maine Game Wardens.
There were eight short stories, each with different premises and characters. I have to admit the creepiest story (to me) was Snakebit. I already am not fond of snakes – to this one gave me the absolute willies.
I have enjoyed the few Bowditch’s books I have read. The crimes, sometimes quite twisted, always seem to keep me on the edge of my seat. Each of the stories focuses on the job of the Game Warden and certainly highlighted some of their most interesting cases. The various stories take place at various times. Skin and Bones by Paul Doiron is a good read.
