Synopsis

When the body of a fast-living young stockbroker is found in a shallow grave, suspicion first falls on a cuckolded policeman. Lieutenant Joe Gunther investigates the increasingly bizarre details of the crime, but he’s too far behind events to prevent a second murder. Indeed, whoever is responsible always seems to be a few steps ahead, as if there’s a leak in the police force. Sweltering August heat does nothing to calm the increasingly agitated town selectmen, who demand results.

Goodreads review by Mark

I've read the 1st in the series & was thoroughly entertained & Mayor provides another solid police procedural in the small Vermont town of Brattleboro...Joe Gunther & the characters of this Vermont hamlet provide as much page-turning excitement as the big city boys...a young stockbroker is found in......more

Goodreads review by Dorsey

Not nearly as riveting as the first two in this series. In fact, bordered on tedious.......more

Goodreads review by Jennifer

This series continues to deliver. What a twisted tale of a devious mind. This story had many red herrings and the final ‘who’ came as a shock. It’s amazing how some people can hang onto a grudge and plan a hell of a convoluted retribution.......more

Quotes

“At ease with the history and maverick social structure of his region, the author isn’t afraid to look on its dark side. Like his flinty hero, he doesn’t blink when the action wheels into the operating room for a bloody medical procedure or screeches down the highway on a high-speed car chase. As rugged as those mountains in the background, this virile series should only last as long.” New York Times

“With enough twists and turns to keep the reader on chair’s edge, Mayor’s…action-packed tale includes interesting local history as seen by Gunther, an observant, appealing guide.” Publishers Weekly

“An author to be reckoned with.” Kirkus Reviews
