Summary
In Archer Mayor’s intriguing new Vermont-based mystery, The Orphan’s Guilt, a straightforward traffic stop snowballs into a homicide investigation after Joe Gunther and his fellow investigators peel back layer upon layer of history and personal heartbreak to learn a decades-old hidden truth.
John Rust is arrested for drunk driving by a Vermont state trooper. Looking to find mitigating circumstances, John’s lawyer hires private eye Sally Kravitz to look into the recent death of John’s younger brother, purportedly from a childhood brain injury years earlier. But what was the nature of that injury, and might its mechanism point more to murder than to natural causes? That debate brings in Joe Gunther and his team.
Gunther’s efforts quickly uncover an ancient tale of avarice, betrayal, and vengeance that swirled around the Rust boys growing up. Their parents and the people they consorted with - forgotten, relentless, but now jolted to action by this simple set of circumstances - emerge with a destructive passion. All while the presumably innocent John Rust mysteriously vanishes with no explanation.

Love this team
These are great stories and excellently performed by Tom Taylorson. Joe Gunther, though if undetermined age, is a fantastic character. Long May he continue.

Classic Gunther
The characters continues to expand their backgrounds whilst still maintaining Gunther at the centre. Didn’t want to stop listening.

Good story as always
as always a well written story with familiar characters that you come to recognise and expect to react in certain ways. The whole series is a pleasure to hear and I'm not looking forward to the last book.

Another enjoyable story!
This was my 31st of this series. Great variety in these books. The characters have become so familiar and well constructed. The narration by Tom Taylorson is excellent. His interpretation of the characters and the consistency in their portrayal is perfect. Always feel sorry to come to the end of the book.

Balance is shifting
Enjoyed this but not as good as some of the previous stories. It didn't hold my attention that well & I had to keep rewinding! I think the shift to Sally & Rachel is a bit irritating. That said - can see his new characters need to come in, there's only so much you can write about Joe, willy & Sam. But Rachel is a bit annoying. Better than Gail though - great to have had several stories without her now.
