Synopsis

Joe Gunther and the VBI team are investigating a murder and an arson case—both potentially related to an outbreak of Ebola.When the body of a young woman is found near a trail at a popular ski mountain, the case falls to Joe Gunther and his team at the Vermont Bureau of Investigation (VBI). They quickly have a suspect, Mick Durocher, and a confession, but not everyone on the team is convinced. Despite Mick’s ready admission, investigators quickly sense there might be more going on than is immediately apparent.At the same time, a large local business is being targeted with escalating acts of vandalism—a warehouse fire, a vandalized truck, a massive cooling system destroyed—resulting in loss of life. And either by coincidence or not, Mick Durocher, the self-confessed murderer, was once employed by this very company.These two puzzling cases—now possibly connected—are further complicated by the sidelining of a key member of VBI, Willy Kunkle, who undergoes surgery at a hospital that appears to be having an unlikely—and suspiciously timed—outbreak of Ebola.Joe and his team pursue these cases, uncovering motives that might link them, while proving that trust betrayed can be a toxic virus, turning love into murderous loathing. Indeed, behind the mayhem and murder, Joe must uncover a tragic history before another victim dies.

It is lovely to follow a series and realize that I like the characters. Not just as actors in the story but as individuals who I feel I have come to know over the years.

NetGalley “Bury the Lead” by Archer Mayor is book twenty-nine in the Joe Gunther series, and the series is as compelling as ever.

Goodreads review by Herzog on November 01, 2018

Gunther has done a really nice job of fleshing out these characters. He had me deeply concerned for Willie's health and neatly wove Sue Spinney and, again, Rachel, into the narrative. The plot combines a couple of disparate crimes.......more
