“Riveting.”

“Vermont’s history and geography again serve
Mayor well in this deadly and highly entertaining entry.”

“The Tag
Man’s break-ins—in addition to renewing Joe’s commitment to his work—trigger a
circuitous series of crimes and events that make for great reading. Richly
drawn characters and a delightful sense of place are hallmarks of Mayor’s
superb procedurals, and they are both in evidence in this fine addition to the series.”

“It’s hard to imagine a more likable thief than
Mayor’s Tag Man—or, for that matter,
a more companionable lawman than the time-and-trouble-tested Sage of
Brattleboro.”

“Excellent narration plus an involving plot make Mayor’s
follow up to Red Herring (also
available from AudioGO and read by Dufris) an audio treat…Although initially
Dufris’ reading doesn’t jump out and grab you, as the plot builds and he
intensifies his pace, his narration slowly and subtly captures our attention.
He distinctively voices all characters, using gravelly tones for Joe and more
precise speech patterns for some of Joe’s workmates. Female characters, from
teenagers to senior citizens, sound natural and believable, no small task for a
male reader. Even Joe’s German psychiatrist speaks in a believable dialect.
This spellbinding procedural receives a top-notch reading. Series fans and new
listeners alike will be pleased.”

”William
Dufris has the gift of making the listener forget about the narrator as he
keeps the suspense going. Just when things seem to be falling into place, the
plot twists unexpectedly. Dufris makes the characters feel like old friends,
each one distinctly defined by his or her vocal quality—and he is especially
great at making the listener root for the ‘Tag Man,’ a very intriguing
character! Joe Gunther fans and newcomers will enjoy this entertaining mystery.”
