One of Her Best

I love listening to Maron's books. Judge Knott is a believable character. I am never bored and I learn something about an area of the country I do not really know. Whether print or audiobook it's always fun.

One nit

There is no such thing as a "Registrar of Deeds" in North Carolina! The office, the collection of deeds, and the building, or section in the county building are all the "Register of Deeds", whether that's gramatical or not. Deborah Knott would know that, being an attorney.

That said, this one is one of the best indeed.

Warm Narration

I just can't get enough of CJ Critt's narration! The setting of local politics wasn't quite as interesting as some Maron books but the mystery was good and the characters strong.

Great book. Love the series

Love the the Way the narrator tells the story. Looking forward to the next book.

First one that disappointed

Clunky and unfocused -seems like a lot of ideas but no plot and lose ends and loose story ties
