Four For Four!

Booklist gave Paul Doiron's THE POACHER'S SON its fourth starred review, saying:
Doiron, editor-in-chief of Down East magazine, is well acquainted with the current political and cultural tensions that crisscross Maine, and his local knowledge drives this fast-paced and twisty narrative. With realistically flawed characters and a strong sense of place -- both on the coast and in the woods -- the novel avoids tourist stereotyping, of Maine itself and its citizens...One hopes this fine novel is the first in a series starring Warden Bowditch, who could quickly become the East Coast version of C. J. Box's game-warden hero Joe Pickett, who patrols the range in Wyoming.

(To answer the reviewer's question, it is indeed the first in a series. We've read a draft of the second installment and can assure you that it's just as exciting as the first!)
