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.

Another good crime book from Archer Mayor,

Follows well from the first of the Joe Gunther series. The background research is impressive

Anachronisms?

I am already on book number four in the series and am enjoying all them very much. They are well written, I believe in the main characters and tthe plots are brilliant. I love the way the books end and the way there is a thread from the last one in the following book.

But I have a problem. I believe the books are set a while ago, starting in the 80s. How does the timeline work? Joe fought in Korea - I thought that war happened in the early 50s, so is he already early 50s, at the youngest he could be? Cell phones are in use, some people use typewriters, some computers - obviously desktops. Were these things standard issue (obviously not asking about the typewriters) I love the narratives and the narration but these things bring me up short every time they are mentioned, and confuse me again.

Interesting story

I almost stopped listening after the first chapter because I'm against hunting but I persevered. I'm glad I did because the actual murder mystery was well done. I'll probably try and read more from this author.
