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.
