Joe Gunther Bk 14

I was new to Joe Gunther mysteries //Archer Mayor and began listening with book 1. I was captivated by the character building of all the individuals in the series. I almost feel like I know each of their doppelgangers in my own life. As I was saying I began with book 1 and became so entrenched in the Joe Gunther mysteries I binged listened to all 32 books with fascination, escape, and enjoyment. I love the less than perfect characters, the thought processes each character manipulates and how each struggle with mental demons (some more than others) that make them real and come to life. I am also really impressed that not one of Mr Mayor’s stories (of all 32 books) repeat themselves in story line which is a impressive feat. My only disappointment is the next book isn’t out until Sept 2022.

who are you

the story was good and posable. it is something that feels comfortable and realistic. never sure on what will happen.

Disappointed with the ending

Why did Mayor just let Manuel Ruiz, the drug gangster/murderer get away? Simply having Joe Gunther expressing disappointment at not getting the case wrapped with arrests and convictions was totally unsatisfactory.
Almost don’t feel like listening to next book in the series.

Love Joe Gunther series

Love the series, but this was not my favorite book. It was still OK, just not as great.

Great book!

After reading the reviews I was going to skip this one. Glad I didn’t!! I thought it was a poignant view into the drug battles.
