Mayor tries his hand at a short story and does a nice job of presenting Joe Gunther at his best.

Good story line

As usual there is a lot of detail. I'm glad Mr Mayor has gone back to writing novels. I love that it is set in and around Brattleboro, VT.

Interesting, but clearly this format doesn't allow for as much plot or character development as his novels. Despite this story's brevity, it still had an interesting plot twist.

A very good short story.

Good interim until next novel

This short story was a nice interim “fix” until the next novel. It wasn’t on par with the novels, but Mayor admits the short story is not his forte.

Good read

Simple plot but well presented. Shows human nature with only a few sentences His full novels are an even better read.

Great Short Story

Arch did this story well despite by his admission he likes more prose. I think this is one of those you read when you have just a little time.

A good short story featuring on of my favourite characters

[Winifred · Rating 4 out of 5]

As all of Archer Mayor's books this short story is a compact gem of a mystery. Highly recommended as all of Mayor's Joe Gunther books.

[Rebecca Boehringer · Rating 3 out of 5]

As short stories go it was good. I like this author's writing style. He is direct and to the point and the stories are interesting.
