About this listen

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.

Classic Archer Mayor

It’s great to have Tom back reading this, though I thought William Dufris was good, but he’d not got Joe’s voice right. So I was puzzled to hear Tom changing Joe’s voice. That’s three different voices in the series making it a bit confusing at times. The story is as good as ever, thankfully, so no spoiling of enjoyment.

Tom Taylorson is back .. But ...

Finally the original narrator is back .. but, oh no .. he's changed the voice of the lead character .. Tom Taylorson is by far the best narrator of this series of audio books but I was very disappointed when I started listening .. the stories have lost a certain something for me now ..

glad Tom is back

glad Tom is back reading again but sad es using different voices for Joe and Willie.
it's like a drama where the actors have been changed which is why I stopped listening to the previous few books.
but I'll stick with it.

Narrator back ….

Having listened to 16 Joe Gunther novels, expertly read by Tom Taylorson, I was disconcerted to encounter a new reader. Fortunately he was only there for one book. Moving swiftly on the next three or four were read by William Dufris. Not awful but he tried too hard to make it a ‘performance’
Thank heavens this book is back in the safe hands of Tom Taylorson.

So glad Tom Taylorson is back!

I was so pleased the original narrator is back. I didn't read the previous couple of books as I just didn't enjoy the other narrator. I was surprised to hear the change to Gunther's love life. Really pleased with what's happening there, always thought they were a better fit. I couldn't take to Gail, so glad she's not back on the scene. I enjoyed the story, a good twist at the end.

What’s happens to Joes voice?

Really enjoy these books but can’t understand why the main character’s voice has changed despite the original narrator being back.
