"I love this series, and while it's been a few years since I read a book in it, I'm glad to have picked this one up along with the one before it and after it. Great books, great characters, and the years' absence didn't matter -- I was able to pick up the book with pretty much no confusion. "

" Maron's latest is much like Evanovich's latest but more satisfying: the formula and characters we love are still there, but there's just enough freshness in the setting at Wrightsville Beach and a judge's conference to keep you reading. "

" I enjoyed listening to this audiobook. I'm a sucker for books set in North Carolina! I'm not sure that this is my favorite Margaret Maron book, but is was a good listen over the last few days. I'd recommend it, especially for readers/listeners familiar with the Wilmington area. "

" Interesting Deborah Knott murder mystery. A murder occurs when Judge Knott is at a conference. Not surprisingly, she gets involved in solving the murders (which turn out to be multiple). Kind of a typical murder mystery. Good "beach reading" type of book. In this case, narrated by C.J. Critt. "

" I'll always read the next Judge Knott installment even if the story gets to be a bit thin. I give the author credit for moving the locations of the stories around the state (NC) to get it some credibility. Missed Dwight in this one though, hope he returns to the next. "
