ADVANCE PRAISE FOR MASSACRE POND (JULY 16)
John Connolly, international bestselling author of Wrath of Angels—
"Few writers can combine a poet's appreciation of nature with the tension and twists of a great thriller, but Paul Doiron does it with ease. Massacre Pond had me gripped from beginning to end."
Linda Castillo, New York Times bestselling author of Gone Missing—
"Paul Doiron has become one of my favorite authors, and he simply gets better with every book he writes. From the beautiful prose to the stunning descriptions of the book’s rugged and wild Maine locale, Massacre Pond is a work of literary art. I knew from the sparkling first chapter that I wouldn’t be able to put this book down until I was finished. Chock full of fascinating characters, and a mystery that will keep you turning the pages as fast as you can, Massacre Pond is a superb read. Massacre Pond is the kind of book you’ll want to read twice, first because you’re compelled to know what will happen next, and again to savor every exquisite word.”
Bill Roorbach, author of Life Among Giants—
“Massacre Pond is a beautiful mystery you couldn’t place just anywhere—it’s a Maine book through and through, from the mass murder of moose to the heroic lives of the men and women of the Warden Service, those guardians and guides and sometime detectives of the great north woods. Doiron’s ingenious and affecting plot—it’s not only moose that are in danger—is grafted onto the battles of a real Maine, but it’s an American book through and through. The search for answers leads a conflicted Warden Bowditch into the path of national politics, backwoods hustlers, guns never meant for hunting, and, sadly, this close to love. Massacre Pond is a fast and furious read that delivers deeply and left me hollering for more!”
Brian Freeman, author of Spilled Blood—
“Doiron's evocative prose makes his characters as vivid as his portrayals of the Maine wilderness. This is a mystery with beauty and heart on every page.”
