Red Herring

By: Archer Mayor

Narrated by: William Dufris

VBI (Vermont Bureau of Investigation) head Joe Gunther and his team are called in to investigate a series of violent deaths that appear unrelated until telltale clues reveal a linkage between them and that all of the deaths are, in fact, murders. However, apart from a single drop of unexplained blood left at each crime scene, there are no obvious connections between the victims or the cases.

In the search for the elusive truth, the VBI must plumb the depths of every suspect's past, every victim's most intimate details, and examine each piece of evidence down to the smallest detail - an examination which includes a trip to the Brookhaven National Lab and an exploration of cutting edge forensic technology.

Love this series!

Very good story with well developed characters you feel like they are your friends. Thanks for a great listen!

Another tale nicely woven.

Enjoyable, Enjoyable, Enjoyable.Great break from political podcasts and serious histories Better narrator than all but Tom.

Twist Ending…sort of

You could see the set up coming. The voice actor just lacks an ability to really relay emotions in certain chapters that would have set the stage for an explosive conclusion. It was more bleh…..still love the series overall. Especially the surprise ending.

Sad ending 😢

I didn’t expect that ending, at least involving that person’s demise.The last line did give me hope for the next book.

Great story

The only thing that would have made me like this book better is if Tom Taylorson had been the narrator. I loved how we were introduced to each murder victim got a chance to like them and then tragedy.

Loved all the feels...

I thought this was one of the best books in the series, so far...though, I really hated the loss of one of my favorite characters.
I REALLY don't like Dufris' character depictions... they were pretty terrible, very cartoon-like, and lost the depth of personality and plot created by Taylorson. Straight narration was mostly ok, but I had to slog through the performance to appreciate the writing itself. I'm glad only a few in the series use this narrator.

Excellent storyline

Good narrator but not Tom, he has made these characters his own. Hard to listen to anyone else

Engaging, Bittersweet!

Engaging, turn-twisting, tragic, but predictable ending. (I am typing more words, because these pain-in-the-asses are forcing me to type at least 15 words!) 😡

Narrator a bust

Loved all his books until this one. I just couldn’t get past the horrible narration. DNF. Starting the next one.

phenomenal

this is one of the best Mysteries ever written. Archer is a genius. I fell in love with Vermont and with Joe Gunther. I was shocked and surprised . I was entertained and moved. do yourself a favor and buy this book
