Publisher's Summary
Lieutenant Joe Gunther is in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom investigating a minor embezzling case. It's a pleasant distraction and a chance to reconnect with old friends, but when a house fire reveals itself to be arson, compounded by murder, Gunther can't help but investigate. He quickly finds himself enmeshed in a web of animosity between put-upon townspeople, the state police, angry parents, and members of a reclusive sect. Murder follows murder, yet no one seems to be telling Gunther the whole truth - not even his childhood friends. And truth is what he desperately needs if he's to stop the killings.

Good story to walk to!
A great “who done it” story that is easily followed and wonderfully read. You’ll enjoy it.

Acceptable
Archer Mayor is never going to win any writing awards - except perhaps for research. His description of everything ranging from the forensic examination of corpses to fire investigation procedures for arson is clear, well-reasoned, and accurate. The characters in this book are interesting, the dialogue - while somewhat stilted - is reasonably realistic, and the revelations are twisty-turny.
Unfortunately, some of the plot elements in 'Borderlines' are so implausible that it's hard to maintain the illusion of reality [a middle-aged cop returning to his home town for a work assignment/visit and joining the Fire Department to fight house fires in (basically) his spare time is too much to ask of readers/listeners].
Narrator Tom Taylorson does his level best to elevate the book.. but falls just short, too. His diction, timbre, cadence, and tone are legitimately praiseworthy - but his characteristic cinematic voice-acting is a little off on this project for some reason. It just doesn't quite reach Taylorson's normally peerless standards.
Altogether, I rate the recording 6 stars out of 10. I feel very fortunate to have gotten it as a 'Plus' selection - it was a great distraction for a couple of quiet afternoons - but paying a Credit, should Audible ask, would be questionable.
[Incidentally: insects don't slowly crawl across the exposed corneas of corpses in near-zero weather.. no matter how striking the imagery. There are no insects buzzing around outside when you can see your breath in Vermont]
