The Skeleton’s Knee

The Joe Gunther Mysteries, Book 4

By: Archer Mayor

Narrated by: Tom Taylorson

When a reclusive market gardener's death proves to stem from a 20-year-old bullet wound, Lieutenant Joe Gunther is presented with a very cold homicide to solve. But who was the victim exactly?

A deeply private man eking out an ascetic existence from a hardscrabble mountain field, Abraham Fuller was virtually unknown to his neighbors, in the manner of someone pursuing more than mere solitude. The discovery of a bag full of unmarked bills and a body buried in the garden patch suggests that Fuller had motives beyond misanthropy. With someone willing to kill to ensure that old secrets remain buried, the case may not be so cold after all.

4th book in the series as much fun as the other

I am thoroughly enjoying this series, the plot, protagonist, characters and the narrator's voice - it is melodious, and because I listen to audiobooks before I fall asleep I find it a perfect bedtime pleasure. I look forward to listening to all the other books. Thank you, Audible!

Very good but...

I enjoyed The Skeleton’s Knee for the first 6 or 7 hours but then it began to have a bit to many characters and became a bit confusing trying to keep them all straight. It also ran a bit long too. I kept wishing it would just hurry up and finish. If it hadn't been for those two things it would have been a 5 star book. Story was very good and narration was fine.

Always well written and read. Love the series

The book is very well written and thought out. The author is very knowledgeable about his subject. Love it.

"Indeed", it was a good book

Great story, I've quickly fallen in love with this series. If there was any critique, it would be that you will indeed grow tired of the author's use of the word "indeed". Difficult to say why I might feel it was overused, however upon inspection it was indeed used 3 times in just 4 pages. Indeed, I was not shocked to find this was the case.

Nice

The main character is really likable and keeps me coming back for more. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series.
