Tucker Peak

Joe Gunther Mysteries, Book 12

By: Archer Mayor

Narrated by: Tom Taylorson

An overworked sheriff and a string of condo burglaries at a luxurious ski resort have Lieutenant Joe Gunther and the newly minted Vermont Bureau of Investigation digging deep for clues. But it doesn't take long for Joe to find the most likely thief missing and his girlfriend dead.

As the complications mount, from drug dealing to environmental terrorism to attempted murder, Joe and his team go undercover to infiltrate the closed society of a one-company town, populated by bored millionaires and supported by a small legion of resort employees, not all of whom are what they seem.

Great winter escape.

Story captures the beauty and challenges of winter in the Northeast. Good twists and turns on the ski hill and in the plot.

Well done .... w/ one exception

No need to wax eloquent. Brilliant author, amazing narration. Just didn't like the limited use of expletives - not super creative, mostly limited to "Jesus," "Christ," and "God" - especially towards the end. The selection seemed so limited and specific that I wondered if the author had a personal bone to pick with the Almighty.

Joe Gunther does it again.

Tucker Peak was great! Started out with a very expensive stolen watch, soon its murder and more murder. We see Gunther and Sam go undercover here which was a fun addition to the story. Like seeing the ongoing character development that takes place from book to book, keeps me really connected with them and the series in general.

Great mystery in series

I enjoyed this book in the Joe Gunther series. Modern technology is finally catching up with the Vermont gang. I liked the setting for this one being the ski resort and mountains. We get more and more of the characters' personalities.

Murder in the Mountains

With his new group, the Vermont Bureau of Investigation still struggling for acceptance among law enforcement, Joe Gunther is called on to investigate a burglary in Tucker Peak. In his usual dogged investigative style, Joe digs in and ulitmately uncovers more than he bargained for. A decent listen as Taylorson does his usual fine job voicing Gunther in Mayor's first person presentation.
