Publisher's summary

With Joe Gunther and his Vermont Bureau of Investigation team spread thin on assignment everywhere, from the remote dairy country of Northwest Vermont to the slums of Newark, New Jersey, they're pushed to their absolute limit when a string of serial arsons across the Green Mountain State evolves into the most shocking series of murders the bucolic region has ever known.

Warning about ending in this comment

Glad that tree hugger “I know what’s good for everyone” has said good bye. Sorry books are in 3rd person narration. Liked having Gunther’s perspective.

But still a good listen. Wishing Joe good luck!

Yes!

This book is so good! I found it after listening to it by another ( not nearly as good) narrator. Stick with Tom, he makes this series SO much better! Which is saying a lot. Archer ( love the name) definitely has talent!

Super sleuthed powerful poignant mystery!!!

Mayer and and Taylorson are absolutely brilliant. better than bacon and eggs, pastrami on rye, meatballs and spaghetti... get it... a veritable feast awaits. The writing is beyond first class the narration beyond brilliant. I could not stop listening in amazement to a wonderful storyline dialogue plot twists characters and such pathos. it's quite powerful. Enjoy it for yourself 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟PS all along I tried to like Gail Zigman thinking perhaps she was a kind of Lauren Bacall type figure and voice but she comes off quite rough in this one for sure. I wonder what happens going forward to the series couple.

Wow! One of Archer Mayor's Best!!!

Per usual, Tom Taylorson's narration is outstanding! Tom brings each of Archer's amazing character's to life in the best possible light...giving each of them the depth that Archer's writing creates.

This book touched each of my emotions... During the intoduction of a character named...Bobby... you are taken into his thoughts & feelings... I found him to be such a likeable, caring, sweet teenager...only to bare witness during the last moments of his life...The anxiety I felt...just wanting to help get him out of that situation... His mother Marie... who I wanted to empathize with over the loss of her child...but I struggled to understand the absolute chaos, animosity & rage she was creating...eventually... I became angry & wanted someone to smack her...give her happy pills or sleeping pills to alleviate the overwhelming tension she created...

The twists & turns created in this story really kept me on the edge of my seat... as soon as I thought I had figured out how all of the pieces were going to fit together... it changed... there were people killed that shocked me....I enjoyed the trip to Newark with Joe & Willy...Especially the craziness, attitude & heart Willy Kunkle always brings to each book is excellent!

I have never thought Gail was good enough for Joe... Gail is such a brass, controlling, selfish woman whose persona is more masculine than feminine... I feel that Joe would be with someone who is as caring as he is... that has inner strength & determination but is also soft, thoughtful, funny...and would compliment him as much as he compliments her... With Gail stuck in her drama...the best thing she has ever done was to let Joe go.... but having him hurt & feeling his anguish... just brought me to tears...

Fantasic story...! Going to listen to the next one right now!!!

One of the best

I really enjoyed this one, although I’ll admit to skipping over most scenes involving Gail, whom I came to detest. Hope she stays gone!
