His protagonist is a Maine State Game Warden with an interesting and conflicted backstory. Maine Game Wardens are fully empowered law enforcement officers which allows him to investigate crimes. The Poachers Son, the first book in the series hints at the issues in his past. The other series is written by Harry Dolan. Dolan is an excellent writer with twisting, complex plots, sometimes a little too complex. However, he is worth following the winding path. As a writer I try to read authors who can really write. Doiron and Dolan meet the criteria.(less)

Rick Cochran, Murder at Bound Brook: Cape Cod Mystery

“Sports has a way of leveling the playing field. You can't fake it, you can't buy it, and you can't use your connections on the court. You can either play, or you can't - and Rob could play.”

“Like others who had once enjoyed an elite lifestyle, Lucy craved its return and whenever opportunity arrived, attempted to recreate it...By then no one questioned Lucy's role as the reigning hostess of celebrations, a role she continued to hold in public celebrations during the early Federal period.”
