Reviews
Praise for One Last Lie : "This novel is something of a departure for Doiron... the suspenseful, fast-paced plot has more twists and turns than usual." -- Associated Press "Before you read this book, clear your schedule. It's the kind of story best read in one gulp...[Doiron] keeps getting better." -- New York Journal of Books "Edgar finalist Doiron artfully blends a whodunit plot with superior characterizations in his top-notch 11th mystery...vividly portrays the Maine woods setting while maintaining taut suspense." -- Publishers Weekly (starred) " One Last Lie is a triumph for aficionados and newcomers alike. The secrets, old and new, are compelling, and Doiron's landscape imagery is perfectly balanced (as is the literary history)...Trust, friendship, love, faith and how the family we choose holds powerful sway is at the heart of this impressive series entry." -- Shelf Awareness "Doiron's masterful plotting pulls it all together, and the reader gets to meet an odd assortment of extraordinarily well-defined characters--good guys and bad--while learning more about both the natural and the political history of the Pine Tree State." -- Booklist Praise for Paul Doiron and the Mike Bowditch mysteries: "Doiron captures the stark beauty of his setting." -- New York Times Book Review for Stay Hidden "The characters are well drawn, the Maine landscape is vividly portrayed, and Bowditch pursues his passion to protect the innocent and bring evil doers to justice regardless of personal cost." -- Associated Press for Almost Midnight "Doiron...[ramps] up the tension slowly until the story reaches can't-put-it-down velocity." -- Library Journal for Almost Midnight "Breathless pacing, dark humor, wildlife, and vivid characters." -- Boston Globe for Widowmaker "As always with a Doiron novel, the characters are so well-drawn you can almost reach out and shake their hands, and the rural landscape is so vividly portrayed that the reader can smell wildflowers, marvel at the swarms of fireflies and feel the sting of the blood-thirsty insects. But the author's finest achievement is the evolution of Mike Bowditch himself." -- Bruce DeSilva, Associated Press for Knife Creek "Outstanding...Doiron balances nuanced characterizations and intelligent plotting perfectly." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) for Stay Hidden "The extraordinary sense of place makes this Doiron's strongest novel yet." -- Booklist (starred review) for Stay Hidden
