Occam’s Razor

De: Archer Mayor

Narrado por: Tom Taylorson

The body was positioned so that the train would neatly obliterate its head and hands. Dressed in a homeless man's clothes with empty pockets, it might easily be passed off as an unfortunate John Doe. But Joe Gunther has a knack for knowing when things don't quite add up, and the math in this case is all kinds of wrong.

A toxic waste dumping scheme, a stabbing, and a whole lot of state politics quickly complicate matters further. If Occam's razor were applied to Gunther's caseload, how many incisions would it make?

character development is fantastic

I love the series. great cliffhanger on this one. was gonna take a break but nope need to find out

This series has a way of keeping you hooked

Like all series this one has its slow periods. This book isn’t one of them and is better than the previous couple. I think acts as a bridge to a new beginning for the whole cast.

Joe’s back

An interesting political twist to the Joe Gunther saga. The story meanders a bit but is very engaging—recommend.

Realistic not overly complicated

I’m enjoying the fact it takes place in Vermont. Easy to listen, and the plot was a little surprising. Realistic, didn’t complicate it with factual details not relevant to the plot. This was my 2nd book and will continue listening to more.

Loved it!

Not full of suspense and a thriller but a good story and if you’ve gotten to know the characters from other books it’s a good link to them.

New fan of Archer Mayor

Longtime fan of detective stories, mysteries and thrillers. I’m delighted that I’ve found a new author and narrator to thoroughly enjoy. Mayor’s knack for blending an engaging storyline and details of the locale. Funny, a few days ago my six year old grandson and I were looking at pictures of fall in Vermont. Guess I was destined to connect with this author. Always keen on a good narrator and Taylorson does not disappoint. A bad one can make even a great story a misery. Listening to a sample doesn’t always help. Victor Slezak who does lots of Sandra Brown is my favorite and Taylorson is on par.

Goodbye Gail, please!

Well, Gail continues to be nasty and angry and rude, but Joe keeps making excuses and bowing to her “superior wisdom.” How many times throughout the novel do we hear him saying, “of course Gail was right.” It makes me wonder if the author is as blind to her lack of charm as Joe is. Again, the narrator, who is absolutely excellent, and every other way, makes strange pronunciation choices. He needs to look up the rules for creating the possessive form. It’s awkward sounding when he adds ‘s to bound ending in s. He also added ES to a couple of nouns when a simple S would have been appropriate. Other than that, it was good. Tight writing, and God I learned a lot. And I live in Vermont, and I was a reporter in Vermont, sometimes covering the State House. And I still learned a lot. Just get rid of girl, please. Find him a nice woman, so we don’t have to listen to her nastiness and his thinking she’s doing him a favor. Yuck.

A truly entertaining series!

I am enjoying visiting Vermont and it’s surrounding areas with detective Gunther and his cronies.
The stories are well written and always maintain a reasonable degree of reality. Thank you Archer Mayor.

Meandering but addictive

No diversity, even for Vermont. Gail more annoying in her privileged tree hugger snobbery. Joe should move on.

Great great book

I love this series, the characters develop through the books - the plots are interesting - the whole experience is simply great
