Release Date: 18/06/13
Publisher:  Constable Crime

SYNOPSIS:

Game warden Mike Bowditch has been sent into exile, transferred by his superiors to a remote outpost on the Canadian border. When a blizzard descends on the coast, Bowditch is called to the remote cabin of a terrified couple. A raving and half-frozen man has appeared at their door, claiming his friend is lost in the storm. But what starts as a rescue mission soon becomes a baffling murder investigation. The dead man is an infamous drug dealer and state police suspect it was his own friend who killed him. Bowditch isn't so sure - but his vow not to interfere in the case is tested when he finds himself powerfully attracted to a beautiful woman with a dark past and a troubled young son who harbours secrets of his own..


REVIEW:

To be honest I’m new to Paul’s writing and whilst it was an OK crime title, for me it wasn’t anything that stood out against a lot of the other books out there. Don’t get me wrong, the story was OK but for me it was something that could have been edited a lot more and made a tighter novella rather than a full length title as in places it really took its time to get where it was trying to. Add to the mix characters that I wasn’t too happy with and dialogue that really didn’t keep me interested all round made this a book that was something that won’t make the author rise on my TBR list.
