In this 20th book in the series, Judge Deborah Knott with a dead body on her father's property about which he might know more than he says and questions about how her parents met (her father was a bootlegger, her mother the daughter of a respected attorney). Trying not to interfere in the murder investigation run by her husband, Deputy Sheriff Dwight Bryant, proves almost impossible.Opening up the pages of this book was like connecting with a long-lost friend. Margaret Maron easily conveys the patterns and rhythms of life in rural North Carolina. In the 22 years since the first book in this series was published, I have watched Deborah's relationship with Dwight grow, come to know her many brothers and their wives and children (although I have to admit that there are so many of them that I do get confused) and come to care about what happens in Colleton County.
A quick read that made me wish for more.
