When a reclusive market gardener's death proves to stem from a 20-year-old bullet wound, Lieutenant Joe Gunther is presented with a very cold homicide to solve. But who was the victim exactly?

A deeply private man eking out an ascetic existence from a hardscrabble mountain field, Abraham Fuller was virtually unknown to his neighbors, in the manner of someone pursuing more than mere solitude. The discovery of a bag full of unmarked bills and a body buried in the garden patch suggests that Fuller had motives beyond misanthropy. With someone willing to kill to ensure that old secrets remain buried, the case may not be so cold after all.

I am thoroughly enjoying this series, the plot, protagonist, characters and the narrator's voice - it is melodious, and because I listen to audiobooks before I fall asleep I find it a perfect bedtime pleasure. I look forward to listening to all the other books. Thank you, Audible!

4th book in the series as much fun as the other

I enjoyed The Skeleton’s Knee for the first 6 or 7 hours but then it began to have a bit to many characters and became a bit confusing trying to keep them all straight. It also ran a bit long too. I kept wishing it would just hurry up and finish. If it hadn't been for those two things it would have been a 5 star book. Story was very good and narration was fine.

Very good but...

Archer Mayor has been writing mostly mediocre detective novels in the Joe Gunther Mysteries for more than 25 years. The Skeleton's Knee, released in 1992, is one of his rare excursions above mediocrity. This is actually an excellent and fascinating story about attempts to identity the person and cause of death of a skeleton based on the history of its artificial metal knee.

One of Archer Mayor's better novels

I’ve been listening to these books in successive order. It took me a while to get into the first one and I wasn’t sure if I could listen to the reader.
Over time I’ve decided Tom Taylorson is Joe Gunther and I always look forward to starting the next book. They are a little dated with the current technology now available but still very well written.

Really enjoying this series

I enjoy these books because he keeps you guessing. Complicated plot and a twist at the end. Love the narrators voice.

This is another good book in this series. Joe is trying to solve a case of a bone that was found. You have to pay close attention to everything going on. I enjoy the seriousness of this book and series. it's more serious and the author is not trying to be funny. That ruins a lot of detective books. I recommend this book and series. Tom Taylorson does a great job narrating this book and series. He makes it even better. If my review is any help will you please click on the helpful link below. Thank you.

I just Love.

Great story, I've quickly fallen in love with this series. If there was any critique, it would be that you will indeed grow tired of the author's use of the word "indeed". Difficult to say why I might feel it was overused, however upon inspection it was indeed used 3 times in just 4 pages. Indeed, I was not shocked to find this was the case.

"Indeed", it was a good book
