From Publishers Weekly
At the start of Mayor's fine 19th Joe Gunther novel (after 2007's Chat), Vermont deputy sheriff Brian Sleuter gets shot in the temple while making a routine traffic stop near the Canadian border. The video camera on Sleuter's cruiser taped the murder, so it appears to be a simple case, but Mayor never makes things simple. Since the pair that Sleuter stopped have a drug history, Joe Gunther, head of the Vermont Bureau of Investigation, coordinates with Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Boston. In a smash-bang arrest attempt, one suspect is killed, the other escapes. Joe follows him to Maine, where a drug distributor was recently murdered, drawing Joe and his staff into a fight for control of the New England drug trade and a vengeful family feud. The plot meanders and relies on coincidence more than usual in this superior regional series, but a surprise resolution to the cop killing and an unexpected final catch, one of many in the story, will leave fans feeling fully satisfied. 30-city author tour.

From Booklist
In (relatively) placid Vermont, a cop killing is a once-in-a-decade crime, and in the nineteenth installment of Mayor’s superb series, Joe Gunther, the top cop in the Vermont Bureau of Investigation, has one on his hands. At the same time, in picturesque Rockland, Maine, a drug kingpin is gunned down. A changing of the criminal guard appears to be under way, and Joe finds himself in a task force with feds and Maine police who specialize in drug crimes. There’s a link between Joe’s murder suspect and the drug dealing in Maine, but Joe wonders if he is fully serving Vermont’s interests. Throughout this series, Mayor has focused on societal concerns. This time it’s the illegal use of prescription drugs that knows no borders. One result is that most of the book takes place in Maine, and that might disappoint some of Mayor’s ardent fans. His elegant, even lyrical prose about his home state is less evident here than in previous novels. Even so, a new Joe Gunther is always good news. --Thomas Gaughan
Review
"Mayor is a devil of a plotter...one fine trip." -- New York Times Book Review on The Second Mouse "Consistently the best police procedural series being written in America." —Chicago Tribune on St. Alban's Fire
"Mayor's skills are equal to the vigor of his imagination, and we take his word for every twist, every turn, every thunderbolt." —The New Yorker on St. Alban's Fire

Reviewing: "The Catch: A Joe Gunther Novel" by Archer Mayor
By Kevin Tipple
Recently Archer Mayor was a very informative guest on a Sunday night chat hosted at The Writer's Chatroom. Along with learning that his previous publisher had put the first twelve Joe Gunther series books out of print so Mr. Mayor had to form his own publishing company to get them back out on the market, I learned that that I hadn't read this one when it came out last year. A number of other readers were on hold for it at the local library, so it took awhile before finally arriving. As always, it was worth wait.
Deputy Sheriff Brian Sleuter pulls over a speeding car on an isolated stretch of Vermont road cognizant of the always present danger from such a stop. Despite taking the usual precautions and following procedure, within minutes, he is gunned down while sitting inside his patrol car. Called into investigate the murder and apprehend the person or persons responsible, Joe Gunther and the fellow members of the Vermont Bureau of Investigation have a solid lead. Thanks to the dash camera footage, they can see the moments prior to the officer's shocking death.
Over in Maine, Alan Brudey is the son of a Maine Lobsterman who has no desire to follow in dear old Dad's footsteps. Having just killed Mathew Mroz in a plan to take control of the local drug flow he has no intention of working the water chasing the dwindling supply of lobsters. He plans to work the people instead who need drugs and supply them and build a business in the time honored way of all small businessmen. The product is different, but the business process is the same and he has plans for exponential growth.
Before long both storylines merge as Joe Gunther's hunt for the killer and his accomplice take the team to Maine. In a story that constantly shifts back and forth between storylines, there is little time for character development and instead is all about the chase of the suspects. This deep in the series, one doesn't expect any character development and one doesn't get any. One does expect more complexity in terms of plot and character interaction in an Archer mayor novel and unfortunately that also is not contained here.
This is a straight up fast moving mystery where you know Joe Gunther and his group will catch the bad guys. The only question is how and where. The result, while certainly not his best ever in the series, is another strong one. While it dims in comparison to many of his other novels, it certainly is much better than a lot of books out there by other authors who get much more of the media attention.

Down East Lowlifes
By J. Moran
A very ambitious and hard-driving Vermont state trooper is murdered during a routine traffic stop. The whole thing seems to be caught on the cruiser's video. Vermont copdom mobilizes to catch the killer, including Joe Gunther's elite Vermont Bureau of Investigation. Everyone charges into the investigation; but Joe, no fool and averse to communal embarrassment, quietly has a couple of his people checking on what kind of a cop and person the victim was.
The trail leads to Maine where it seems to connect to the murder of a local drug leader, whose demise leads to equal and violent opportunity for would-be replacements. A multiagency task force is formed, and Joe's team tags along. Everyone on the task force is sympathetic about the trooper's death but inevitably the focus is more and more on the drug issues. Joe and his people keep on, following leads and making a few of their own. Joe's instincts and knowledge of people lead to some smart decisions and the case makes progress.
The writing is brisk and clear, the characters interesting, with no stereotypes in sight. Yet this is not absolutely top drawer Archer Mayor. There are a lot of loose ends, a couple of which seem to have been inserted for the sake of a subsequent book. In addition the solution to the cop killing seems to come totally from left field, maybe even from outside the ball park entirely. Still, the writing is good and the interaction among the characters interesting. It is a good read.

A true police procedural but I expect more of Mayor
By L. J. Roberts
First Sentence: Deputy Sheriff Brian Sleuter was looking for a better country/western station when the Toyota flew by, spraying a few roadside pebbles against the front bumper of his cruiser.
Joe Gunther and the Vermont Bureau of Investigation have been called in to assist on a drug-related cop killing. Pharmaceutical drugs are being brought in from Canada to Maine. Steve, the ex-con brother of Gunther's girlfriend helps them with locations, players and confirms that some lobster boats are bringing in more than lobster. Steve had heard of the area's main player, now a murder victim himself.
It's up to the combined law enforcement team to find who has taken over the territory and stop them.
Mayor usually creates an excellent sense of place and, to be fair, some of that was apparent here. However, much of it felt as though it was map directions.
As for the plot, there are lots of twists and turns and lots of red herrings. But nothing really goes anywhere and threads were left hanging.
We are introduced to a whole lot of characters. But we are given very little character development on any of them. Personally, since many of them are drug dealers, that was okay, but even the major characters felt thin and as though the author assumed you knew their background. A climatic scene, however, that could have lead to significant development of two characters, seemed glossed over and almost incidental.
This is a true police procedural. I do like that there are multiple agencies working together. But I found myself very disappointed in this book.
