About this listen

During the height of a particularly brutal Vermont winter, a woman's body is found one morning hanging high above the interstate. The woman, found with the word dyke carved on her chest, is quickly determined to be the victim of a brutal murder. That alone is enough to bring in Joe Gunther and his Vermont Bureau of Investigation team. But when the victim is identified not only as a state senator but as an intimate friend of the governor's, it unleashes a publicity maelstrom that makes a difficult investigation even more challenging.

While the antilesbian message is an obvious feint meant to mislead investigators, it does reveal that the governor is gay and forces her to publicly acknowledge that fact. In the meantime, while the publicity rages on to even greater heights, the police begin to focus intensely on the dead senator's life. One thing they uncover is that she had a fondness for recreational marijuana. In Vermont, however, neither lesbianism nor marijuana use justifies murder. It's up to Gunther and his team to find out not just who but why?

This book is wonderfully closer to the style of the first Joe Gunther’s, and the narrator, Tom Taylorson, seems to finally have his groove back in the voice stylings of Joe.
Worth listening to.

I enjoy these books by Archer Mayor so much, but there have been other narrators recently and its just not even close to the same book without him. Thank goodness he's back where he belongs!

Too Abrupt ending

I dislike the abrupt ending. what's going with the last 2-3 reads. I am left with need for more to explain the endings!

I was totally surprised by the ending.

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.

Kept me on the edge and could not stop listening. Was surprised of ending and very suspenseful.

Good story

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Lots of unexpected and uncomfortable moments in this Archer Mayor story - But - solid plotlines and excellent character development ... Gail was back in full force (Ugh - isn't she just the worst?), so greatly appreciated the solidification of the Gunther/Hillstrom relationship. Keep up all the good work!

Not For the Faint of Heart!
