Skin and Bones by Paul Doiron

Skin and Bones collects the short stories Paul Doiron has written about Maine game warden Mike Bowditch. There's "The Bear Trap", where Mike's mentor Charley Stevens regales him with a tale about capturing a hermit years ago. In "Snakebit", someone has been releasing rattlesnakes into the wild with dangerous consequences. While the last story, "Sheep's Clothing," takes place after the last Mike Bowditch mystery, Pitch Dark and is about a couple who died by murder-suicide--or did they? An enjoyable collection that is as solid as any of the other books in the series.
