Welcome to Litsy!

Nonfiction about an expedition to kayak the Tsangpo Gorge in Tibet. It‘s a wild story and about more than just the river.

An intriguing mystery that takes place on an island where researchers are studying Puffins. Game Warden Mike Bodwitch and his girlfriend Stacey Stevens pulled into solving the horrible murders of three researchers. State police join in to find the answers. 4/5

This is a non-fiction story about a woman and her husband who spend their spare time rowing/kayaking in the high latitudes near the arctic circle. In their day jobs they are avalanche experts in Alaska. Some really interesting information about kayaking and avalanches. I can say without a doubt that while her experiences sound fascinating, I would not want to trade places and row for 10 hours straight in icy water.

The Mike Bowditch novels are pure fun to read and this one, set largely on a Island bird sanctuary, is no exception. Mike has reunited with his girlfriend, Stacey Stevens, and they‘re on a kayak vacation visiting an island where Stacey studied Puffins. Someone has been threatening the staff, and there are lots of suspects from lobstermen to stalking photographers. Then a horrible tragedy strikes. Great Maine vistas, and the usual tight plot.

I‘ve lived in Maine my whole life and know many men and women in varying branches of law enforcement so maybe that helps make these books a smooth treat for me? I truly think the series gets better with each installment. This is my favorite so far! The author has given us a crime fighting duo by adding with commitment a strong and intelligent female partner to our main character and I cannot wait to be with them both again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I meant to finish this last night, but feel asleep reading. As you can tell by that comment, not my favorite Mike Bowditch book. It's number 13 and Doiron took him out of his comfort zone, the Maine Woods.

The book just didn't keep my attention as good as the others have. I prefer Bowditch in the Maine Woods.

Perfect beach reading an eerie Island two murders someone gone missing sounds like a true page turner

Just to clarify, this is 13th but my first book in this mystery series about Mike Bowditch, a game warden in Maine. I was able to catch on fairly quickly however. Mike and gf Stacey investigate a double homicide on a seabird sanctuary research facility off the coast. Could it be a local lobsterman, someone from nearby Ayers Island, the wealthy couple who donated heavily to the station? There‘s obviously violence but also a sexual abuse 🔻
