WAL (USA: SC) (2007/09/09):
Burned-out reporter Jack McMorrow has taken to the Maine woods, where bird-watching and beer drinking occupy his days. His nights are occupied by social worker Roxanne, who can't abide his laggardly ways, prompting McMorrow to take a part-time job as court reporter for the Kennebec Observer. It's in court where he first meets Donna Marchant, a single mother with an abusive boyfriend. McMorrow reports on Donna's case, and though he uses no names, the small-town citizens know who's who. Soon Donna is murdered, and McMorrow feels responsible. He presses the case over the objections of a self-serving district attorney and even Roxanne, frightened by the part of McMorrow that is energized by danger. The first two McMorrow books were good; this one is even better. After some early tentativeness, author Boyle has found McMorrow's voice; it is only a matter time until he finds his audience.
