Joe Gunther

review 1: This is an outstanding novel. With this, his third installment in the "Joe Gunther" series, Author Mayor is at the top of his game. The dialog is crisp and the characterizations are rich. It is as if you were reading a true crime story. But where Author Mayor really shines is when he describes police procedures. The details he provides are amazing. This is a novel you take your time reading as you want to savor every word. Nothing is extraneous. I look forward to reading the reading the entire "Joe Gunther" series.
review 2: 1992, #3 Lt. Joe Gunther, Brattleboro VT Police Department; police procedural.A dead body in an all-too-easily found grave, a policeman with secrets, money laundering and drug deals gone bad: a nasty situation seems to be escalating ... morefor Joe Gunther and his Vermont cops, as they discover more bodies, and bugs and snitches and reporters also show up. Another interesting visit with Joe, as he shows us the darker reaches of his old town, and its less than illustrious folks, while trying to unravel an extremely complicated case of revenge. Very good setting, excellent plotting and twists, (although I did twig to the actual killer a couple of steps ahead of Joe) and not much romance, makes this a tidy and satisfying procedural, as we see the effects of a nasty heatwave and stress work their way through the department. less
