As Rabid: A Story by Paul Doiron begins;
retired Game Warden Charles Stevens is riding with Game Warden Mike Bowditch as
he has done most of this June day. It is now early evening and finally the old
game warden is going to explain why he put a large brown package in the bed of
the patrol truck that morning. Mike Bowditch never asked him about the package
as he knew that when his longtime friend would talk about it when he was ready.
While this particular story takes place several
years ago when Mike Bowditch was stationed “Down East” the actual events
that Charlie tells and later is explained in further depth by Charlie’s wife,
Ora, happened decades ago. It is a situation that has long haunted both Charlie
and his wife and one that is very hard for them to talk about even today.
Author Paul Doiron has incredible story telling skills as
first showcased in The
Poacher’s Son which begun the Mike Bowditch Mysteries series. He is at his peak performance in this intense
and captivating short story. A tale that is incredibly intense and weighty
despite is length as it has the impact of a novel. There is quite a lot packed
into the sixty-two page read. Rabid: A Story is one of those reads
that can be savored by those of us who have been onboard since the beginning as
well as by readers who know nothing about this great series. Paul Doiron is one
of those talented authors who, for whatever reason, do not get the national
recognition he so richly deserves. Rabid : A Story is a very good read
and one that is worthy of your time and your attention.
