Joe Gunther, a Brattleboro, Vermont cop, is the head of the new Vermont Bureau of Investigation (VBI), a joint task force charged with statewide responsibility for major crimes. In The Marble Mask, the VBI's first case takes the force north to Stowe, where a 50-year-old corpse has turned up in a crevasse on Mt. Mansfield. Some of the more interesting minor characters in author Archer Mayor's long-running series about the amiable elder sleuth make return appearances here as Joe's teammates - like one-armed Willy, a former wife-beater who's now playing footsie with Sammie Martens, one of Joe's favorite colleagues.

When the frozen stiff turns out to have been a big-time Canadian crime boss named Jean Deschamps who disappeared after World War II, Joe and his gang cross the border to work with the Mounties, the Surete, and the local cops in Sherbrooke, where Deschamps' son Marcel is involved in a turf war with the Hell's Angels and a rival gang of thugs. Old secrets and intrigues come to light while an intricate plan to frame a dying man for a half-century-old crime forms an interesting puzzle that's not fully revealed until the very end.

What a great performance by Mr. Taylorson! The subtle nuances in voice change make listening to this collection a wonderful experience. Mr. Mayor's writing of these characters is masterful and further embellished by Tom's understanding of their voice.

The great Tom T.

Characters were confusing. Repeated several times to keep them straight. Not as clear as others

It has a bit of a slow yet interesting narrative to start and then a cyclone of events, people, places and corkscrew twists and turns all leading up to a blazing finale fit For A Hollywood Epic. Of course Joe gets himself into plenty of eye rolling near death escapes and his new crew with Canadian cohorts really move the action along. Lots and lots of characters with French names and accents and you really have to keep paying attention to keep up. once again masterful writing with excellent dialogue held me suspended until the very end. highly entertaining. Mr Mayer and Mr Taylorson are a spectacular match. 👍👍👍👍👍

GREAT Gunther...!!!

Narrated leisurely by Tom Taylorson, Archer Mayer's "The Marble Mask" will take you through a mind bending path, humourous, enthralling, full of suspense, and finally comes together beautifully.

The 11th is a series, will cajole you to listen to the rest.

A First Class Thriller

I enjoyed the first couple chapters very much- although I wish that author had more clearly circled back to the intense scene.
When time caught back up to the event, it was lacking the intensity of the first telling.
Otherwise, this is another interesting Joe Gunther book

Interesting beginning

The story get complicated…. Just when you think you understand who is who…. More characters are added. Everything explained at the end and the meaning of the title makes it more complicated!

Complicated!
