St. Albans Fire

The Joe Gunther Mysteries, Book 16

By: Archer Mayor

Narrated by: Christopher Graybill

In Northwestern Vermont, young Bobby Cutts enters the family barn and encounters a nightmare. Surrounded by bolts of fire, Bobby and the entire herd perish in a stampeding circle of flames. Called to the scene to investigate, Joe Gunther instantly recognizes arson. But by whom? And why? Gunther quickly discovers that someone is wreaking havoc across the bucolic farmlands surrounding the town of St. Albans. Somewhere in the dense social fabric of the community, in the hearts and souls of Bobby's family, and in the cutthroat farming business underneath the region's placid exterior are the truths his team must ferret out. But what looked like a local case is about to take them from the barns of Vermont to the gritty streets of Newark, New Jersey. Before all is said and done, Joe Gunther will meet one of his deadliest opponents to date...and he will need far more than his skills as a policeman to protect the people closest to his heart.

I love all the Joe Gunther books, terrible reader

The reader of this title is TERRIBLE!!! I mean TERRIBLE completely ruined the series. The fake voices for characters was just atrocious!!! Brin back Tom Taylorson

Ugh, the narrator…

First off, I love this series! I love Tom Taylorson reading to me. I barely finished this book due to the cartoon like narration. It’s painful. I wasn’t going to leave a review, but just got to book 19, The Catch, and the Graybil is back at it. Why????

Narrator change

Not just different, but not very good. I wanted to continue with the series so I stuck with it. Will not read the next book if he’s used again

Enough of Gale Zigman and apologetic Joe

This book was way over the top with Gail Zigman and the women in general. Joe is always so in touch with his feminine side when he's dealing with women, it's a wonder he's not wearing a man bun and Birkenstocks. Gail has always been a self-serving, martyr and unappealing woman in any respect but I could hardly finish this one. Plus why are the cops always one step behind in all these books.
Willie where is this growth we were going to see from him? He's still the same as nasty mouth character, he's always been. I also feel that the sexual details are really getting a bit out of hand, almost voyeurism since Mayor went to third person, as you can tell not a fan of this book in general, I kind of think I need a break from the series.

New Reader

The new reader was hard to follow. I had a hard time differentiating between the voices.
