I tried but I couldn't finish this book. I actually made it through more than 2/3 of the book but decided than I don't want to waste more time on it. After all this pages the book hasn't even been near to what it was described and I just got too bored. This is probably because it is the 13th book in a series, some might say it's a cozy mystery only, without much mystery up until where I stopped reading.
Unfortunately I don't have anything positive to say about it.

This entire series of Judge Deborah Knott by Margaret Maron is an absolutely joy to read.
The characters are well thought out and explained and continued throughout the series.
The locations and situations are wonderful too - even with the 'journalistic license' taken.
One feels you know the places, folks, taste the food, experience the wonderful place that is
North Carolina. I simply just loved it and could not wait to read on and on.

I'm still working on my "read or re-read series in order" project but I have to say I'm getting a little bored with these long series. A self-imposed problem to be sure. I can't tell if I'm lukewarm on some of them because I've read too many too fast, or if it really is the book. At any rate, I don't have a lot to say about this one, 13th in the series. It's a quick, easy read with familiar characters and a familiar formula. There's a lot of family life in this one not just with Deborah and Dwight but a couple of the deputies as well. Maron also returns to racism again, nothing really hard-hitting of course, but the book centers around migrant workers and a few of the hardships they go through. Maron gives the reader several suspects to consider. So...it was okay.
