By: Archer Mayor

Narrated by: Tom Taylorson

Length: 8 hrs and 31 mins

Publisher's summary

News travels fast in the small state of Vermont. In this tight-knit society, police officers and investigators proudly maintain a kinship that transcends the boundaries of their jurisdictions. When an unidentified body is found in the peaceful town of Brattleboro, local police and the Vermont Bureau of Investigation both appear at the scene.

But before investigator Joe Gunther can begin to gather evidence of murder, a family emergency sends him to his hometown, where the lives of his mother and brother have suddenly been threatened. Gunther reaches out to a network of police officers who know him only by name and reputation as he attempts to discover the source of this imminent danger.

Meanwhile, his investigative team chases an elusive murderer who has no apparent ties to the victim. In a state that is more like a neighborhood community, secrets are difficult to keep, and it's sometimes impossible to know who can be trusted. To save those he holds closest to his heart, Gunther soon finds himself opposing criminals more menacing than any he has ever encountered.

Just as engaging as ever!

The characters are like old friends — I laugh and feel their ups and downs. The plot is as twisting and unique as I’ve grown to expect.

I really enjoyed this book. Twist and turns.. well written. Pleased that Tom Taylorson was available to narrate.

Tom Taylorson is the best

Love the series
Love this particular book!! So much more going on with family depth

Great Joe Gunther!

This Gunther seemed really fresh & engaging ... a little resistant to the new love interest at first (after a few raised eyebrows), but the idea grew on me, especially the more I heard Gail's voice (apologies to Tom Taylorson - I do love the sounds of your Male characters!) An attack on Joe's Mom & brother, as well as the take down of some Internet predators; travel around the state of Vermont and a great mixture of old & new characters rounded this out - Great!

Another fine case

This series is almost like a tv series. I’ve come to expect certain things from the characters and haven’t been disappointed

Welcome back, Tom Taylorson!

The story is a good one. Tom brings the story alive with his many voices for the characters. Thank you for a great story and a great narrator.

Enjoy this series very much. My fav go to.

I always check out the narrator’s voice before I try a book and this one is great. He makes the main character come into view. I enjoy the characters the author brings into each story and this one was no exception.

The gangs all here!

I have enjoyed all the books in this series, though some more than others, and this one was a welcome return of loved characters, The storyline was good, and I was happy to see the return of a character I hoped would show up again...maybe permanently this time.

Joe Gunther Bk 18

I was new to Joe Gunther mysteries //Archer Mayor and began listening with book 1. I was captivated by the character building of all the individuals in the series. I almost feel like I know each of their doppelgangers in my own life. As I was saying I began with book 1 and became so entrenched in the Joe Gunther mysteries I binged listened to all 32 books with fascination, escape, and enjoyment. I love the less than perfect characters, the thought processes each character manipulates and how each struggle with mental demons (some more than others) that make them real and come to life. I am also really impressed that not one of Mr Mayor’s stories (of all 32 books) repeat themselves in story line which is a impressive feat. My only disappointment is the next book isn’t out until Sept 2022.

Great Audio Story

Suspenseful , well written and held my interest to the very end! This is a wonderful author!
