The Catch Audiobook

" This series has pretty much jumped the shark. Readable, certainly, and of more than marginal interest to me since I am working on a news story about drugs in New England, but not exactly a barn-burning read. "

" Good story, taking place in coastal Maine, largely. The ending was not entirely satisfactory, but does reflect reality, rather than having everything tied up in a neat package. "

" This time a deputy is shot on Route 7 south of Vergennes and the search takes Joe to the coast of Maine in hopes of finding the suspect who is involved in a drug ring. There is an interesting twist at the end. The story is light reading and there were a number of characters that I had to continually remind myself who they were. I particularly like Mayor's stories because I can get a real feel for the place as he names actual locations and captures the essence of the communities. "

" Too much running around in circles. "

" Sigh. Another book I picked up randomly when I needed something to entertain me for a few hours - the end was AWFUL and extremely anti-climatic with no resolution! "

" Joe Gunther #19. State trooper shot while on traffic stop, leaves behind video and a fingerprint. "

" I thought I had finished this series but there's more!! Great characters evolving in sutuations that are compelling. "

" Another in a series of police procedurals set in VT. Twist to the form in this one. "

" Excellent story line, a lot of detail and plot twists. The more stories Mayor writes, the better he gets! "

" I'm generally a big fan of this series, but I thought this outing was a disappointment. Way too much misdirection and procedural stuff, not enough of the character development in previous books. "

" A police procedural where the main character has a quiet strength about him and a good guy air. A quick, easy read. This book takes place in various locations in New England and describes the scenery and people very well. "

" not one of his very best, but a transitional book, as JG gets more comfortable in a new relationship and gains more recognition in the VBI. "

" All Archer Mayor's Joe Gunther series mystery books are page turners. As soon as I finished one I began another. "

" I love Archer Mayor mysteries but this one was just OK. The drug theme and too much "law enforcement details" was a bit of a bore for my taste. This was not up to Mr.Mayor's usual page turning style. I will look forward to next year's book however! "

" The same cast of characters we've enjoyed previously added to law enforcement characters in New Hampshire and Maine. Mayor catches our attention quickly with a cop killing and layers the plot with drug dealing and lobster fishermen. "

" This book just seemed to amble on with no clear direction. "

" Good, but had trouble focusing "

" I wasn't too pleased with the ending, I thought it left too many loose ends untied :-/ "

" Latest entry in an excellent police procedural that I was turned onto years ago by Kevin, the mystery bookseller in Borders Framingham. "

" Another good Joe Gunther book - on the coast of Maine. "

" One of those mysteries that is all about police procedure. There is very little here in terms of character development. It is not poorly written, quite the contrary, but is just not my kind of mystery. "

" The least favorite "Joe Gunther"novel, I've read. The plot was all over the place, literally and figuratively. The ending didn't feel like an ending but just a stop. Here's hoping Book 20 in the series, is better reading. "
