4.0 out of 5 stars Finally, no frame, Mar 15 2003

By	Jamie (Richmond, Va.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Skeleton's Knee (Mass Market Paperback)

I really like Mayor's books, however, after the first three where the plot was built around someone being framed, I was beginning to lose interest. No one is framed in this one, and the action moves right along. It gets a little confusing at the end, but overall , a good read.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE SKELETON'S KNEE, Oct 28 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Skeleton's Knee (Mass Market Paperback)

I HAD NEVER READ THIS AUTHOR BEFORE. THIS BOOK IS NOT ONE TO BE PUT DOWN. THE STORY WAS CLEAR, THOUGH TWISTING, CHARACTERS VERY ALIVE. I HAVE READ MYSTERIES FOR 30 YEARS NOW AND DID NOT FIGURE THIS ONE OUT--I HAD TO READ THE ENDING!

5.0 out of 5 stars A master artist with words, May 24 2001

By	David A. Naess "howdydave" (Rochester, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Skeleton's Knee (Mass Market Paperback)

All of Archer Mayor's books have a gripping story line. Although the stories are first class, the pictures drawn with words as the story unfolds are the best that I have ever encountered. The magnificent metaphors can create, in less than one sentence, images that may take other authors pages. Although each book is independent in and of itself, I enjoy reading the stories in sequence. There is a steady progression in character development and interpersonal relationships as we go from story to story.

If you are a mystery fan, I am sure that you will enjoy the entire series as much as I have. If you are a student taking a course in creative writing, I don't think that you will find a better word artist than Archer Mayor.

4.0 out of 5 stars genuine local flavor
This is the fourth novel in Archer Mayor's excellent Joe Gunther series. Odd as it seems, these are hard-boiled police procedurals set in Brattleboro Vermont. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars The author's attention to detail and realism is impressive.
The realism and detail of the story makes it obvious that the author "has been there". He creates a scene that actually puts you there too. Read more
