About this listen

When Gail Zigman, town selectwoman and Joe Gunther's companion of many years, is raped, Gunther finds himself caught between the media, local politicians, and a network of well-meaning victims' rights advocates as he tries to put his own feelings aside and follow a trail of evidence. Every lead points to a single obvious suspect, but is the evidence too perfect?

Risking his friendship with Gail, the respect of his peers, and his own life, Lieutenant Gunther keeps digging, hoping to find out if the man they have in jail is rightly there or if the evidence against him is tainted—what police call "fruits of the poisonous tree".

Enjoyed it!!! Marvelous Plot with major twist along the way, culmulating in a daredevil ending.

Marvellous!!!

For me, these just keep getting better. I still don’t listen to the authors notes at the beginning and there was still an abrupt ending but this time it was apt.

Best so far.

I am listening to the Joe Gunther stories in order. I have enjoyed them all but I particularly enjoyed this one. The characters are great and Tom Taylorson's narration is really good.

Thoroughly enjoyed!

Once again I enjoyed this 5th book in the series. As always, the author keeps you guessing as to who the culprit is and it isn't usually obvious. Once again, it has an abrupt ending. Great narration.

A change from a murder

There is an obvious weakness in the story which stops a top rating - smell

Thought provoking

I am listening to the series in order and really enjoyed this book. The reading is great and I like Joe - and Gail - but they are characters of their time (30 years ago). I agree with one other reviewer that Gail needs a bit of a “boost” as her character seems a bit meh by today’s standards.
Overall the series is really enjoyable and I look forward to spending more time travelling back in time to rural Vermont and trying to solve the puzzles. Thank you Archer Mayor.

Another good story

Archer Mayer is my latest discovery, Joe Gunther is brilliantly read by Tom Taylorson, the plot intriguing, the prose excellent. Gail on the other hand needs a revamp I'm sorry to say, she sounds like a chain smoking 95 year old with a grating personality

My second Archer Mayer looking forward to no. 3!

Another great story that moves along so well. Plenty of twists and turns and very well thought out ideas. Gunter really comes alive in this book and you get something more complex than the last 4 books.

5th and best so far

I find these stories come to life due to the detail of events and scene setting. Really comes to life

It’s the detail that makes this good
