Publisher's summary

In Archer Mayor’s Fall Guy, a body found in the trunk of a stolen car leads Joe Gunther and his team to crucial evidence in an infamous unsolved case from years past.

A high-end stolen car is discovered in Vermont. A car filled with stolen items from a far-flung two stage burglary spree. But it’s what is in the trunk that brings Joe Gunther and his team from the Vermont Bureau of Investigation. In the trunk is the body of burglar in question—one Don Kalfus. Complicating matters, while the body was found in Vermont, it appears he was probably killed in the next state over, New Hampshire.

The task force charged with finding out why Kalfus is murdered soon faces another problem. Within the pile of stolen cell phones found in the car is evidence of a notorious unsolved child abduction case from years earlier.

Now the seemingly simple case has become more complicated and deadly, leading Gunther’s team to be pulled from the New Hampshire coast to near the Canadian border as they attempt to find and capture the psychopath responsible for a tangled, historical web of misery, betrayal, and loss.

Another Joe Gunther hit

I only have one problem with it and it is minor. Tom Taylorson pronounced Lemuel incorrectly. It is pronounced with the accent on the first syllable similar to Samuel.

Solid but a little crazy at the end

Mayor develops a great story and terrific characters. His ending seemed a little out of control. Taylorson is a terrific reader for all characters -male and female

Another good mystery that flew by…

Very quick mystery. Or, at least it seemed to go by so fast. I hope there will be more in the future!

Excellent Joe Gunther story

This hit the mark. Performance,story, all very polished and entertaining. No one is better at this series than Tom Taylorson. In my opinion one of the best, if not the best of the entire series.

The last one??

I love this series! I'm praying the author will continue! My favorite character is Willie. I love how he has grown but yet still his same ol' quirky, snarky self.

The Best of the Joe Gunther Series

I think this was the very best of the Joe Gunther series. The story was really good and the twists were very unexpected. As usual Tom Taylorson’s narration is masterful and brings enjoyment to the story.

Pretty good one

Classic Gunther with the usual cast if characters.

Only issue was the audio during different sections of a chapter. There was no pause at all between sections. So it would take a sentence or two to figure out it was another character or setting as there was no pause between sections.

Joe Gunther & Team

Have read/listened to books 1 - 33. Joe Gunther and Willy must be really old; but hopefully their will be #34 and many more to follow. Maybe will watch Emma grow up as well; and Tom Taylorson is an awesome narrator.

Back to the main cast of characters

I was glad to see the story back to being a police procedural instead of about nepotism and shady, naive, self-serving reporters and investigators pushing a story along. I much prefer the stories that swirl out from an event and are wrangled by smart, honest cops with occasional forays into their private lives. Of course, my favorite transformation of the series is of Willie Kunkel from cold, damaged, hard case to devoted father and man with a conscience.

i had wondered if I would continue with the series after the last couple of books, but I am very glad I took this one on. I will be sad if it is the last, but if it is the last, I am glad to know that Rachel and Sally didn't get the last hurrah.
