Trade Review
Massacre Pond is a tough act to follow, but Doiron avoids series stagnancy by placing Bowditch outside of the law-enforcement circle he once loved and treating readers to another round of top-notch outdoors-Maine description. Highly recommended for fans of C.J. Box and Craig Johnson. - Booklist
Excellent... Thoughtful plotting and strong characters raise this above the crime novel pack. - Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
The Bone Orchard [is] both a rich exploration of character and a satisfying mystery. - Associated Press
