Reseñas de la Crítica

"The rural North Carolina dialogue and 'carny' talk are perfect, especially descriptions of food, fashion and enchanting scenery of Indian summer in the South. The author draws family relationships so clearly you feel you could melt right into the crowd for barbecue, biscuits, slaw and cobbler." (Publishers Weekly)
"Maron's appealing story races forward at breakneck speed, taking full advantage of familiar characters and both real and fictional locations." (Library Journal)

Enjoyable and educational

Still loving NC and Judge Deborah Knott through the eyes of author Margaret Maron. These books are predictable in that Deborah Knott is always getting involved, but I enjoy her each of her storylines.

hot stuff

I absolutely love me love interest in this story it's just what you need to inspire you to stay totally addicted to this wonderful series.

Slow Dollar - Great Read

I discovered this series on Audible less than a year ago and am already a devoted fan. When I want to listen to a book with a great plot, a good mystery and characters I like, the Debra Knott series is the first place I look.

One of the things I enjoy about this series is that Margaret Maron has constructed it in a way that allows Debra Knott to be involved in a number of different "environments." This adds alot of variety and interest to the stories.

The pace of the story is brisk, there are plenty of new characters along with the continuing characters. There is a great sense of "place".

It might be best to read these books in order. However I started with one of the more recent books, and have read earlier books after that. It hasn't spoiled my enjoyment of the series.

C.J. Critt is an excellent narrator.

Love Maron's POV style

Every time I read a Maron book I enjoy the setting and background information as much as the mystery. This one opened the world of traveling carnivals and carnival slang. Loved it!

Good story. Enjoyed the insight into the traveling carnival world.

Enjoyed this story and look forward to the next.
Love the recurring characters.
Glad to see Dwight and Deborah’s new relationship.
