Review: Dead by Dawn

Dead by Dawn by Paul Doiron
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the Doiron book that should have won a literary prize! The best, most exciting, fastest reading book in the series so far. Don't usually like books in which the plot moves back and forth between time periods but this time the plot device makes the action move with even more urgency. It takes place in only one day but Mike and Shadow have some day!

Starts out simple enough--taking Shadow to the vet for a check-up and stopping by to visit a woman who's sent him a note asking him to review a closed case. Definitely, not how it ends. But then nothing with Mike Bowditch is simple--from his relationships with women to his obsession with a wolf. And while Rambo may be, in Mike's mind, at a moment of great crises, " a bullshit macho fantasy", he has nothing on old MB!!!

Love Doiron's sense of humor, his style and his way with words--I, too, thought the professor looked like a " pompous ass" ! Just from reading his description.
