This is the only one of Maron's Deborah Knott series that I hadn't read before; it's #9. It fills in a bit of personal backstory I missed, which I liked. It's another easy cruise through a bit of North Carolina, although probably everyone in the US has memories of the little fairs that pop up during the summer. Maron evokes the carnival atmosphere very nicely. I didn't guess the murderer...not sure she gave the reader enough to go on...but no matter. The main characters were interesting, the romantic part might be a surprise if you haven't read farther into the series, and all the family drama is present. Loved the very very end and I saw that coming, very amusing. Fast read, finished it in a couple hours.
