Judge Deborah Knott has a secret. Only she and her daddy, former bootlegger Kezzie Knott, and one other person know the circumstances that led to her appointment as a judge. It seems like that secret might be in danger of being revealed when Candace Bradshaw, county planning and zoning commissioner is found dead. Candace collected information on as many people as possible and used it to gain money and power. No surprise that the list of suspects of people who want her dead is a long one!
I have loved this series by Margaret Maron. Sometimes, she gets a little preachy as she carries on about how development in this area of North Carolina is destroying farming and old ways of life. I do understand her concerns but it can be a little tiresome. As usual, though, I love her characters. It is wonderful to have Deborah happily married. It's always fun to hear about her many brothers and her wonderful daddy. As usual, as soon as I finished, I was hoping for another Deborah Knott story very soon!
Rating - 4.5 stars
