Title: Presumption of Guilt
Review: this is the 25th entry in the Joe Gunther series and does not disappoint. Archer brings back a few characters from the past and weaves a mighty yearn of nuclear power plants, lost sixties dreams, mob hit men and eccentric house burglars…all encircled by his fine sense of place for being in the Green Mountain state. and, the burgeoning romance in joe’s life , with a long term character in the series, is quite a story line. Not quite as dramatic as last years (“The Company She Kept”) but a solid addition to the his long running detective series. If you have not checked them out-start at the beginning (“Open Season” 1983) and go from there- see them unfold and mature. I finished this book in two days….which says something.
