I read little bits of everything. My mystery preference is cozy. I enjoy science fiction, but do not have a science background. And I'm a hobbit from wayback before I was old enough to vote.
Another in the Judge Knott taking place on the NC coast. Maron deftly weaves the mystery, murder of a judge who had suspicious fund raising practices, with Deborah's personal lives. Cute touch in naming two characters after the husbands of other mystery writers. Great cozy set in NC, but 1st time readers to the series should start @ the beginning with "Bootlegger's Daughter."
