Summary
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.

really really excellent
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.

another superb instalment
Another amazing instalment from Joe. Love the character, all the twists and turns in the story that keep you guessing right to the end. The narrator is the perfect person to bring Joe and his crazy life to life. Can never stop listening to these, every opportunity i get im listening. Completely hooked and biting at the bit for the next book.

But, for a metal detector!
A death from an old gunshot wound, a second buried body discovered during a police search because of it's metal Orthopedic knee, opens up a Cold Case that soon becomes anything but cold.
The Skeleton’s Knee, my fourth listen to a Joe Gunther mystery, is by far the best, the most satisfying in the series so far - books two & three were below par. But, as find there's a repetitiveness to Archer Mayor's writing, and his stories conclusions always seem abrupt with threads left unexplored, it will be my last foray to Vermont.

Another good book
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!

Gripping
This series keeps getting better. This is by far my favourite so far. the narrator does an excellent job of distinguishing voices and maintaining the deadpan tone of the first person narrative.

Good Book
This is the third book I have listened to and they get better each time.
This is such a simple story but it works really well and is very interesting to listen to.

Fascinating
With my background in nursing and interest in Orthopedics this mystery was better than usual, and the stories are usually quite good! I also lived a few hours from Chicago for several years, and found myself either going around toward Wisconsin, attending conferences or medical appointments in Chicago, and in my later years, flying into O'Hare from the UK. I hadn't realised how much I'd learned of The Windy City until I heard Joe moving through it. Quite a nice experience for me!

Great gentle lead character
Enjoying this step back in time to the 1990’s. Reading is absorbing and relaxing — Joe is a real gentleman and his character keeps me coming back for more (despite the high death rate). The whodunnit aspects of the story are well constructed. Recommended.
