One Last Lie by Paul DoironMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The books are getting better--more focused and more complex at the same time. Also more devoted to Bowditch and his work as a Warden Inspector, although this time he's not on official business. Charley has gone missing and Ora calls upon Mike to find him.
This time the focus is truly on the Franco-Americans and Native peoples of the Fort Kent area--right on the Canadian border pretty much at the nothernmost point of the Maine border. There are plenty of shady characters for Mike to interview in an effort to find Charley and discover why he has disappeared. Dorion also throws in a couple of Haitians so he can make a point or two about how iCE and Border Patrol activies have increased on this border since 9/11 and just to let everyone know that Mike isn't totally out of the loop of current global affairs, there are are a couple of references to Harry and Meghan!
Love life still in flux--Stacy is back , sorta and Dani is getting distant, sorta. Not too much of that thank goodness. I'm rooting for Stacy, BTW.. Worked with fellow female Customs' inspectors with a chip on the shoulder relative to men. Dani sees them as competitors and has ambition -she also doesn't have a real trust of men--note her remark about the rejection of the Florida pilot's application for the Maine Warden opening. No children, either? Not partner material, at all!IMHO!
