Publisher's Summary

Archer Mayor's New York Times best-selling Joe Gunther series returns with a complex case involving two corpses, one escaped mental patient, and a long-held secret that binds them together.

"Three can keep a secret, if two of them are dead." (Ben Franklin)

Joe Gunther and his team - the Vermont Bureau of Investigation (VBI) - are usually called in on major cases by local Vermont enforcement whenever they need expertise and backup. But after the state is devastated by Hurricane Irene, the police from one end of the state are taxed to their limits, leaving Joe Gunther involved in an odd and seemingly unrelated series of cases. In the wake of the hurricane, a seventeen-year-old gravesite is exposed, revealing a coffin that had been filled with rocks instead of the expected remains.

At the same time, an old retired state politician turns up dead at his high-end nursing home, in circumstances that leave investigators unsure that he wasn't murdered. And, a patient who calls herself the Governor has walked away from a state mental facility during the post-hurricane flood. It turns out she was indeed once "Governor for a Day," over forty years ago, and she might have also been falsely committed and drugged to keep her from revealing something she saw all those years ago. Amid the turmoil and the disaster relief, it's up to Joe Gunther and his team to learn what really happened with the two corpses - one missing - and what secret the Governor might have still locked in her brain that links them all.

Always Interesting

I stumbled on the Joe Gunther series through Audible's Plus Catalogue and I'm glad I did. They're interesting, mostly well-paced and the main characters are easy to become attached to. I did, however, end up skipping all of the books not narrated by Tom Taylorson. I was disappointed to note in this book the narrator changed his narration of Joe Gunther. Joe now sounds like Willie's character while all the others sound like they used to. I will continue the series as long as they are in the plus catalogue, but not purchase.

Early Reading.

I am thoroughly enjoying all the Joe Gunther books in this series and love it that audible has included all of them for our reading pleasure. I did have to skip 3 of the books because of a different reader, published earlier then when Tom Taylorson took over the reading. Tom's voicing of the characters brought them to life, especially the voice of Joe Gunther. He established a voice that could be hard, warm, fatherly, etc, but a voice that was impressive in its nuances. Unfortunately, Joe's voice was missing from this reading. Most of the other characters were there but not Joe. I suspect this was Tom's first reading in this series and hadn't found Joe's voice yet. Hopefully the next book will find Joe again. Nice to hear Cunckle's voice though, another favorite character.

Welcome back Tom Taylorson👍👍👍

Not sure why they went with different narrators but I hope they learned a lesson. Otherwise keep Joe Gunther rolling Archer Mayor, these are some of the best stories I’ve had the pleasure or hearing in a long time.
