Bellows Falls (2012)

This series seems to be a reliable source of believable and engaging police procedurals that highlight the rural environment of Vermont.

Borderlines (2011)

It seemed appropriate, having just moved to Vermont, that I should read one of Archer Mayor’s Joe Gunther mysteries, set in this beautiful state. It turned out to be an excellent story too. This is the second Joe Gunther story, though it seemed that there was already lots of back story, describi...

Gatekeeper (2013)

I have always enjoyad Archer Mayor's Joe Gunther series but I don't think this is one of the best. For one thing, it just kind of ENDs with a quick rundown of where the cast of characters is at that point. The thing i like most about the series is that Mayor, for the most part, gets Vermont right...

The Dark Root (2012)

This is a difficult review to write. I am a big fan of Archer Mayor. The first 2 novels of his I’d read, “Red Herring” and ‘3 Can Keep a Secret,” hooked me big time. I was shocked that Mr. Mayor is not up there with the more well-known authors of the world like Baldacci, Connelly, Patterson, etc…...

The Ragman's Memory (2013)

I am obsessively plowing through this guy's output. They are police procedurals set in and around Brattleboro, Vt. This one is particularly good. A couple are clunkers, like "Occam's (Mammy-Tammy) Razor," which I am wishing would just end already.The hero is Joe Gunther, a Brattleboro cop (and la...
