4.0 out of 5 stars Southern charm, family relationships and old secrets, 15 April 2003
By Dianna Bingham (Brisbane, Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Margaret Maron is no newcomer to mystery writing but this was the first in the series featuring Deborah Knott, a locally grown attorney running for District Judge and as the sole female candidate in a Southern old-boy-network, she will have her work cut out. Her campaign is derailed when a call from her past embroils her in an 18 year old murder, still unsolved. Her neighbours and family not only know everyone's business but have long memories and as she and Gayle, the murdered woman's daughter, find out, someone does not want them resurrecting the old case.

This is a determined woman who cares for justice, her own morality and doing what is right - but Ms Maron writes with such a light hand, Deborah and her family and friends come to life with a snide humour and humanity that is a joy to read. The story scoots along at a good clip, for all it seems to be as leisured and relaxed as the pace of the small town she lives in, and the solution to the puzzle, although not telegraphed, seems a natural progression of all that went before.

With this series, Margaret Maron has kept up the quality I came to so thoroughly enjoy with ther Sigrid Harald series and the other Deborah Knott books I have read. Give yourself a treat and catch up on what is a most enjoyable well written series.
