7th in the series. Lightweight mystery with an obvious murderer, plus lots of the family entanglements and local color that Maron is so good at describing. Aside from Deborah Knott, the storm is the best character in the book - not that the rest are bad, but there's not much there. Knott's cousin Reid is once again a suspect, by now that guy ought to be keeping a video diary of everywhere he goes just for alibis. It won't be a spoiler to say he didn't do it. I knew the murderer pretty much right away but (no spoilers) considering the information we're given in the prologue, I couldn't figure out how the scenario came into being. Loved the very small moonshine sub-plot. A nice comfortable entry in the series even if not the most memorable.
