Historia
Attorney Deborah Knott is North Carolina's answer to V.I. Warshawski, a legal sleuth with a knack for sniffing out the most baffling crimes. Deborah has just done the unthinkable: entered the heated race for judge of old-boy-ruled Colleton County. The only female candidate, she's busy reeling in voters and giving campaign speeches. There couldn't be a worse time for Gayle Whitehead to beg Deborah to investigate the 18-year-old unsolved murder of Gayle's mother, Janie.

Reseñas de la Crítica
"Maron's novel is as eye-opening as it is charming and one that cleverly combines fast-paced action, gentle humor, and the lazy feeling of a southern summer Sunday. There's lots to like about Home Fires, including its refreshingly honest look at the modern South. A solid addition to every collection." (BookList)

Great read
Love the Judge Knott series. You feel like you know all the characters, and you are invested in what happens next with that big, loving family you almost wish they were yours. Keep it going, write more, please Margaret Maron!!

A Look at the New South
This is book six in the Knott series. I started with book one and I am reading my way through the series. I was attracted to the series after noting all the various awards it had won such as the Edgar, Macovity and the Anthony awards.
In this book Maron incorporates the changes and problems that integration has brought to the New South. She did this most skillfully considering the delicate topic. Judge Deborah Knott, who narrates the story, is at the start of a re-election campaign when a nephew is arrested, with two friends, for desecrating a cemetery. Then black churches are torched and two bodies uncovered; the three boys are the prime suspects. In a separate plotline the fate of a young civil rights worker, missing for twenty years is brought to light. Knott has her work cut out for her in this suspenseful story.
The book is well written. Maron lays the groundwork with subtlety, however, and she brings much more depth to her portrait of small town doings than do many of the mystery writers. The plot is engrossing and entertaining. The book is an easy read at just over seven hours. C.J. Critt is a magnificent job narrating the series.

Good story + offers honest insight into complexities of race
The story is a nice continuation of the series. Finally, the author acknowledges the complex legacy of race in the south. Thankfully, she does not pretend to solve the problems. Also thankfully, she leaves the listeners with some hope if they want it.

Feeling at home reading the series in order
I started with a free Audible read of “Southern Discomfort” (2nd book in series) and felt like I was right at home. Went back and read 1st, “Bootlegger’s Daughter” and just finished the 6th in the series. Getting ready to start 7th. I’m a North Carolina native from Kinston and it is a delight and pleasure to read about places I know and love. Plus I thoroughly enjoy Deborah Knott’s character and her voice actress is perfect! Thanks for the memories! 😊

Strong characters and a bit of romance!
With all the mystery of the south along with the intrigue of racial politics add up to make this a great read/listen. C.J. Critt does an excellent job of bringing the characters to life just the way that Margaret Maron wrote them.

Little story little crimes
Some churches in North Carolina were burned. They were black churches. That was little bit of racism. Discussion going on but not much passion set not much intrigue
