BAD LITTLE FALLS by Paul Doiron ***

The story is about a Game Warden named Mike Bowditch in the furthest reaches of Maine. Like way out in the boonies where idiots keep wild animal game reserves so the rich people have something to shoot and bring home the head for a trophy.
So while he's working he sort of falls in love with some girl who works at McDonalds and has a retarded sister and evil son who puts rat poison in his sisters brothers drugs killing people. Never dealt with in THIS book. A guy drives a sled with huskies and lets them drown in the ice while he swims to shore, he's added extra bricks to his sleigh to work the dogs. Sounds like something a game warden should do something about but guess not. Just makes sure the bodies are recovered. The bad guy Kendrick gets away, the killer kid and his mother get away. I don't think one person was arrested for anything.
They either took off for somewhere else or evaded the police. Most of the situations were never followed up with an ending that satisfied me. I hate the writer for allowing a team of dogs to be treated so poorly, I hated him for liking a loser slut who slung hamburgers as if she had more of a brain than her sister. I hated most of the story to be honest, Too cold, too freezing, snowy and of course snow gets in the middle of stopping everyone from being saved on time. Not my choice if I knew what it was about first.
