The Resource Mayor, Archer

Description: Archer Mayor's experience as Vermont's assistant medical examiner shapes his writing, the long-running series of Joe Gunther mysteries. Mayor's novels are noir-inflected police procedurals, juxtaposing Vermont's wholesome natural beauty with the often harsh realities of human nature and modern life in the rural Northeast. Character development and police procedural elements often share equal footing in Mayor's narratives: the varied cast of characters is well-imagined, including the villains, yet the author also provides clear and informative explanation of police procedures and forensics. His writing style is coolly detached, letting characters and facts speak for themselves. Start with: Open Season
