About this listen

"Henry Leyva's narration shapes the story wonderfully..." -AudioFile on Hatchet Island

An eerie, windswept island off the coast of Maine becomes the site of a double murder and a disappearance in the next thriller from bestselling author Paul Doiron.

A call for help from a former colleague leads Maine game warden investigator Mike Bowditch and his girlfriend Stacey Stevens on a sea kayaking trip to a research station far off the coast. Stacey spent summers interning on the island, a sanctuary for endangered seabirds, and they are shocked by the atmosphere of tension they encounter when they come ashore. The biologists are being threatened and stalked by a mysterious boatman who they suspect is trespassing on the refuge late at night. And now the sanctuary’s enigmatic founder, whose mind has been slowly unraveling, has gone missing.

Camped on an islet for the night, Mike and Stacey waken to the sound of a gunshot. When they return to the refuge at dawn, their darkest fears are confirmed: two of the three researchers have been brutally murdered and the third has disappeared, along with the island skiff. Mike’s quest to find the missing man leads to a nearby island owned by a world-renowned photographer and his equally brilliant wife. The inhabitants of this private kingdom quickly close ranks, and Mike increasingly comes to believe that someone in the village knows more about the killings than they dare admit.

With no one to trust and miles from shore, Mike Bowditch must stop a ruthless murderer determined to make sure a terrifying secret never sees the light of day.

I have been a fan of this series from book 1 and enjoy the development of each of the characters intertwined with the latest who done it. Doiron paints a brilliant picture of each scene, from the breathtaking beauty of main to the emerald eyes of Stacy, you can’t help but travel each characters’ path as the story progresses. I also appreciate that he is able to keep each book unique both in location and plot and does so without resorting to crimes ripped from recent headlines. Hatchet Island provided all of what I enjoy about this series - vivid depiction of the islands interspersed with natural and local history of the area. The plot was equally fresh and adding Stacy to the mix certainly made Mike’s latest adventure even more interesting. Of course, Henry Leyva will always personify Mike and all the characters in these books - he does a remarkable job transitioning from one person to the next without missing a beat! I love listening to him!

This series gets better with each book!

Every bug, every plant, the smells even the weather is brought out in an amazing mystery novel. King Paul has done it again with his Mike Boatage Maine warden series. Look forward to more.

Paul Doiron does a great job keeping the energy up book after book I still enjoy it not just obligated to finish the series since I started it

Continues to be a great series

Living in Maine, I perhaps enjoy Paul Doiron's stories better than many folks from away. Doiron creates magical images with his words, leaving me, at least, wondering who dun it until the very end. I'm always wanting more and can't wait for the next chapter in Warden Mike's new adventure.

always GREAT
