Publisher's summary

An overworked sheriff and a string of condo burglaries at a luxurious ski resort have Lieutenant Joe Gunther and the newly minted Vermont Bureau of Investigation digging deep for clues. But it doesn't take long for Joe to find the most likely thief missing and his girlfriend dead.

As the complications mount, from drug dealing to environmental terrorism to attempted murder, Joe and his team go undercover to infiltrate the closed society of a one-company town, populated by bored millionaires and supported by a small legion of resort employees, not all of whom are what they seem.

Great winter escape.

Story captures the beauty and challenges of winter in the Northeast. Good twists and turns on the ski hill and in the plot.

Well done .... w/ one exception

No need to wax eloquent. Brilliant author, amazing narration. Just didn't like the limited use of expletives - not super creative, mostly limited to "Jesus," "Christ," and "God" - especially towards the end. The selection seemed so limited and specific that I wondered if the author had a personal bone to pick with the Almighty.

Murder in the Mountains

With his new group, the Vermont Bureau of Investigation still struggling for acceptance among law enforcement, Joe Gunther is called on to investigate a burglary in Tucker Peak. In his usual dogged investigative style, Joe digs in and ulitmately uncovers more than he bargained for. A decent listen as Taylorson does his usual fine job voicing Gunther in Mayor's first person presentation.

Joe Gunther does it again.

Tucker Peak was great! Started out with a very expensive stolen watch, soon its murder and more murder. We see Gunther and Sam go undercover here which was a fun addition to the story. Like seeing the ongoing character development that takes place from book to book, keeps me really connected with them and the series in general.

Great mystery in series

I enjoyed this book in the Joe Gunther series. Modern technology is finally catching up with the Vermont gang. I liked the setting for this one being the ski resort and mountains. We get more and more of the characters' personalities.

Another Great Joe Gunther book

I have been going in order during this series, well worth all the listening. I highly recommend this series

One of my Favorite Joe Gunther Stories

I would listen to almost anything that Tom Taylorson read, but there is a scene in this story where Joe has to try to rescue a little girl and her mom that is one of my favorites. I'm a big fan of both author and narrator. I haven't listened to the 3 or 4 Archer Mayor books read by someone else, though I did try. I finally went and bought the books so I could read them myself.

Wonderful listening

I listen to books all day at my job.

I am so glad there are so many Joe Gunther books available. This was my 12th in the series. I plan to listen to each one and in the sequence in which Mr. Mayor wrote the books.

The narrator is terrific. I am glad it is the same narrator for every book. It gives the books life. I love the characters. Sam and Willie are my favorites.

I am glad, at least so far, Mr. Mayor has avoided making the stories into political speech. Kudos to him.

These are readable detective stories of real people in real places.

Love it

I can’t get enough of this book series this story had everything great listen lol next book her I come

just can't stop

I'm hooked. everytime I'm finishing one I don't even try to change authors. I have to see what happens next.
