Booklist Reviews 2019 August #1
*Starred Review* When we first met Joe Gunther (Open Season, 1988), he was a police lieutenant in small-town Brattleboro, Vermont. Twenty-nine books later, still going strong, he is now the statewide field commander of the Vermont Bureau of Investigation and one of the longest-serving and most respected cops in the state. Vermont, known for its activism and raw beauty, has a largely hardscrabble economy, with the "scourge of easy drug money always lurking like cancer." The murder of a small-time drug dealer seems to be open and shut at first, but it subsequently explodes into one of Gunther's most complex cases, involving a prestigious prep school and an assortment of engaging characters, including two clever thieves, one aptly named Alex B. Robbin. Thorndike Academy may be protected by wealthy benefactors, but the VBI team, with an assist from young PI Rachel Reiling and budding journalist Sally Kravitz, eventually coaxes the skeletons out of their closets. When Gunther is ready to retire, Kravitz and Reiling could well continue this series on their own. Another crackerjack police procedural from Mayor, this one is rich in chilling scenery and precise technical details. Despite its necessary economies, Vermont takes law enforcement seriously, and fans will appreciate the introduction of FARO (3D Measurement, Imaging & Realization technology) into a mix of technological tools, which, together with Gunther's crime-solving prowess, make for an absorbing read.
