Bad Little Falls by Paul Doiron
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Mike Bowditch has been sent to Maine's version of Siberia as a result of his headlong, sometimes seemingly thoughtless, approach to his job as a Game Warden. Apparently the setting makes little difference in his performance since he takes a hard-nosed stand against a guide whose livelihood depends upon his job, jumps to conclusions as to who is sending him somewhat threatening messages and finding himself in bed with a woman whose baggage would warn off a more sensible man.
Despite all of these short-coming he manages to muddle through and cooperate enough with other law enforcement agencies to identify the bad guy--a character by the way who seems much too much to be real and has an ego to match his legend.
Beginning to lose patience with old Mike though---he seems a good warden but he has the emotional maturity of a 16 year old boy. Will give him another book or two to mature or will move on to another series with a hero with more common sense.
