About this listen

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'm working my way through the whole series and I'm yet to be disappointed. There's nothing glamorous about the way that the tale is told but you get an idea of how police systems work in the State's. No strokes of genius but more grinding out details and sometimes a bit of luck. The characters are very well defined and the reader is great. On to the next one.

really really excellent

I’ve been a little dismissive, unintentionally, of these books in my previous reviews, my feeling being that the narrator was carrying a reasonable story. I think in the best audiobooks you shouldn’t notice one over the other if that makes sense and that’s a mark of the author, narrators and director (if that’s what you call the person who puts it all together) skills. This is the first one where I “heard” the whole book as one ( because I wasn’t multitasking at the time! You can see by this review that I’m not an author!). Two things I’m not keen on, the author’s notes at the beginning, I don’t listen, I want to enjoy a book without explanation so would prefer any notes at the end. The end, they’re abrupt, not unfinished per se just, the end.
There are many books in this series, the middle ones are a different narrator so I hope they will be as enjoyable but FYI if you search Joe Gunther series some say not available on Audible, they are, search for those by title.

Good series so far.

Another enjoyable story in the Joe Gunther series. I like the way the story unfolds, gradually revealing the connections between the various characters and events. Well narrated, too!
