Critique
Fourteenth in the Deborah Knott mystery series. Author Maron just keeps getting better and better. Her portrayal of the old rural ways contrasted with the changes coming to the new South gives readers much to ponder. Family relationships and loyalties are again front and center in this new mystery. Highly recommend.
