Edgar finalist Paul Doiron's superb new novel featuring Game Warden Mike Bowditch and a beautiful, enigmatic woman whose mission to save the Maine wilderness may have incited a murder.
On an unseasonably hot October morning, Bowditch is called to the scene of a bizarre crime: the corpses of seven moose have been found senselessly butchered on the estate of Elizabeth Morse, a wealthy animal rights activist who is buying up huge parcels of timberland to create a new national park.
What at first seems like mindless slaughter - retribution by locals for the job losses Morse's plan is already causing in the region - becomes far more sinister when a shocking murder is discovered and Mike's investigation becomes a hunt to find a ruthless killer. In order to solve the controversial case, Bowditch risks losing everything he holds dear: his best friends, his career as a law enforcement officer, and the love of his life.
The beauty and magnificence of the Maine woods is the setting for a story of suspense and violence when one powerful woman's missionary zeal comes face to face with ruthless cruelty.

Epub Massacre Pond: A Novel
This is the fourth book in Paul Doiron's series about Mike Bowditch, a game warden based in a remote corner of Maine. The series began with The Poacher's Son, but it's not necessary to have read the other books to enjoy this one.
The plot centres on Elizabeth Morse, a local woman who made a fortune selling herbal remedies. Now a multi-millionaire, she has bought up a huge tract of land in Maine and hopes to turn it into a national park. She has met considerable resistance from the locals, who use the land for hunting and poaching as well as a source of timber for the local sawmill which is a major employer in the region. Morse has been receiving death threats, but the situation elevates when someone gets onto her land and shoots a large number of moose. This is where Bowditch comes into the story. He is the first to be called out, but his boss, who dislikes him, sidelines him from the investigation. Nevertheless, Bowditch keeps getting drawn into the action as the attacks on the Morse family escalate.
I enjoyed this book. It has a relentless readability about it. I love the way that Doiron transports you to Maine. The wilderness is vividly depicted as are the interesting and rounded characters. In previous instalments I've found Bowditch's hotheaded personality somewhat irritating, but this time round he has started to develop some maturity and self-awareness which makes him a much more likeable character. As usual his personal life creates issues for him - this time it's his mother as well as his attraction to a woman who is out of reach.
