Publisher Description
The governor of North Carolina has appointed Deborah to a judicial seat in the District Court Division. On her weekends, the fledgling judge has been helping an all-woman building crew complete a home for a needy single mother. Her attempts to gain positive P.R. go awry when her niece is found battered and half-naked in the partially completed home, with Deborah's own bloody hammer lying nearby.

"I like the leisurely way she carries you into her setting before the murder occurs. No rushing, time for everything. Love her huge, extended family. One paragraph in the hospital waiting room had 17 named characters, plus children and cousins. This would be a major flaw in a writer less gifted, but the point she is making is that in an emergency there is a flood of family. The reader is expected to be overwhelmed by the numbers, but also comforted by the support they provide for one of their own. Highly recommend this author and series."

" Great setting, likable characters and good humor. Maron's books have been a great light read for me while on break from school. I like the prologue style of her beginning chapters and the entries at the beginning of each individual chapter. "

" I had not figured this out and was surprised by the who in the "who dun it". Liked it better than the first book. Enjoying how the characters are rounding out... Wonder if the growth will be like others or will become static. I have book three already - i guess the hunt is started for the others. "

" I'd like to give this 3.5 stars, the only drawback is the narrator. I love her for other things, but I don't think she is the right person for this characater. "
— Mum, 3/19/2011 -
" Unfortunately I started school in the middle of reading this book so it took me FOREVER to finish, and I was kinda scatterbrained. I can't really give an accurate review of the book because of that, but I wasnt bored with it. "

" pretty good but there was one small part that was totally irrelevant to the story line that bothered me. It should not have been in the book - it was disturbing "
