Publisher's Summary
When Gail Zigman, town selectwoman and Joe Gunther's companion of many years, is raped, Gunther finds himself caught between the media, local politicians, and a network of well-meaning victims' rights advocates as he tries to put his own feelings aside and follow a trail of evidence. Every lead points to a single obvious suspect, but is the evidence too perfect?
Risking his friendship with Gail, the respect of his peers, and his own life, Lieutenant Gunther keeps digging, hoping to find out if the man they have in jail is rightly there or if the evidence against him is tainted—what police call "fruits of the poisonous tree".

Awesome!
I love how descriptive this author is. He certainly does his homework on a wide spectrum of topics. Great book!

Excellent 'Gunther' Mystery
Although there are no deaths in this Archer Mayor Procedural - and spot-on medical forensics is one of the strongest features of his books - I was very impressed.
In 'Fruit Of The Poisonous Tree', Brattleboro, Vermont PD Lieutenant Joe Gunther investigates the home invasion/rape of his girlfriend, town selectwoman/councilperson Gail. The author still rushes interviews (scripting them with stilted dialogue), his description skills are pedestrian, and action sequences feel obligatory.. but his handling of post-traumatic victim reactions - and the emotional effects on partners of rape victims - is both deft and sensitive. The story is uncommonly authentic-sounding.
Tom Taylorson helps the book with a truly praiseworthy performance, too. Blackstone Audio Inc. provides exemplary technical support to a narration characterized by professional diction & pacing, comfortable timbre & cadence, and outstanding tone & voice-acting.
This 9.5/10-star entry in the series is one of the strongest that I've encountered. If you can get it as a 'Plus' option.. do not hesitate. The book would actually rate a Credit for any fan of Mystery-Thrillers.

Great
Although this a difficult subject to listen to and double difficult because it happened to Gail - I like this character and can feel the emotions in my gut - glad they got the culprit in the end 💕
