Product Description

Product Description

Lt. Joe Gunther of the Brattleboro, Vermont police force has a serious problem: in a community where a decade could pass without a single murder, the body count is suddenly mounting. Innocent citizens are being killed—and others set-up—seemingly orchestrated by a mysterious ski-masked man. Signs suggest that a three year-old murder trial might lie at the heart of things, but it’s a case that many in the department would prefer remained closed. A man of quiet integrity, Lt. Gunther knows that he must pursue the case to its conclusion, wherever it leads.

Open Season is the first of Archer Mayor’s Joe Gunther novels, a series of gripping police procedurals set in New England, where small-town charm, stoicism and civility sometimes conceal brutal truths.

Joe Gunther is a police detective in Vermont. The plot concerns an old murder conviction, and a vengeful figure in a ski mask who seems intent on having the case reviewed. This is a long-running series, but this is the first book in the sequence, so is an excellent introduction to the main characters.

The plot is well managed, and a series of intersecting story strands are dealt with cleverly, and brought to a satisfying conclusion. Mayor writes well, and has an ear for a good phrase. I was surprised that one of the US reviewers thought his characters were weak - I found them convincing.

I enjoyed this book. It's not breaking new ground in detective fiction, but it's well written, well edited and a good introduction of an excellent series.

Open Season is the first book in the excellent Joe Gunther mysteries series which is set in and around Vermont.

The book follows the investigation of a series of attacks on the members of jury who convicted a man of murder several years ago. Why are they being targeted ? Who wants the murder case reinvestigated and why?

Highly recommended

Good mystery 20 May 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
I read mystery novels as a pastime. This is well-paced, the characters mostly believable, very likeable, and complex enough to remain engaging. There are enough twists and turns to avoid predictability, as well. fun read, and was free on my Kindle!
