4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent plot and supporting characters, 10 Nov 2009
By L. J. Roberts (Oakland, CA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Price of Malice: A Joe Gunther Novel (Joe Gunther Mysteries) (Hardcover)
First Sentence: Willy Kunkle gently removed his one functional hand from the bare back of the woman stretched out beside him and reached for the softly buzzing cell phone on the night table.

Wayne Castine, a suspected pedophile, has been found brutally stabbed, in the apartment of a neighbor who didn't know him. While Willy, Sammie and the VBI team work to solve the murder, Joe is off on a personal investigation. He is helping his girlfriend, Lyn, discover who murdered her father and brother.

I love New England so books set there do have a special meaning for me. Mayor always creates a very strong sense of place but occasionally gets a bit carried away with the driving directions. But that's a minor thing.

What brings me back, book after book, are his characters. Joe Gunther, the protagonist, can be so solid as to almost be boring; Lyn, his girlfriend--well, I started to like her until she did something so TSTL even though she realizes it too late. It's Willy, Sammie, Les and Ron who add color and dimension and balance to the stories.

The plotting was very well done. Mayor describes the investigative procedure and process well, while balancing it with humanity and emotion. The two plot lines were well balanced and never confusing. There was good suspense in both lines. I also appreciated the realistic frustration the team felt with Joe's absence.

Mayor continues to be a "must buy" author for me.
