Book Reviews of High Country Fall
Book Review: To continue the series and learn about N. Carolina.....
Summary: 4 Stars
#10 of the Deborah Knott series-Maron's style is consistent from book to book. You can count on a subject that is a depiction of a specific aspect of North Carolina life, the continuing saga of Deborah Knott's life as a District Court Judge and her family and finally a murder mystery to give it just enough suspense and mystery to keep you up until you finish the book. Sometimes, the mystery is a little weak as it is in this one. But the Knott story keeps the reader satisfied enough to keep wanting more. High Country Fall takes place in the North Carolina mountains. I believe this is the first in the Knott series with this setting. Maron educates us on the development of the mountains and the mix of native mountain folks with the Floridians that have found the mountains as their summer home. She then continues the Knott story with Deborah trying to adjust to the thought of the engagement ring on her finger. And finally, the murder of a prominent doctor and local real estate agent makes the novel complete. This is not my favorite of the series, but it is definitely satisfying.
Summary of High Country Fall
In her newest novel featuring popular Judge Deborah Knott, multiple-prize winning author Margaret Maron explores the achingly beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, where leaves are turning...and corpses are deadly still. No one is more surprised than Judge Deborah Knott by her engagement to her childhood friend Dwight Bryant. Stressed out by the impending marriage, Deborah agrees to fill in for a vacationing judge in the hills of Cedar Gap. With its fresh mountain air and gorgeous fall foliage, it's the perfect place to clear her head...until a local doctor is brutally murdered. Presiding over the probable cause case against the main suspect, Deborah decides the trial can proceed. But when a second person is killed, Deborah begins to look at this case-and her relationship with Dwight-with more critical eyes. And if she fails to notice the fast approaching darkness, she could end up as another corpse in the High Country fall...Literature & Fiction Books
