Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys well-crafted books. But in some ways, this is a novel that happens to be a mystery. You might figure out who is murdering people now - the clues are there. You can put together clues and perhaps figure out the person who murdered in the past. The author does play fair with the reader in this book. I *know* those people, have lived in that area, and understand the ebb and flow of life. Now I love the book because of the insights about the land and the people in the fictional Colleton County. I related to her problems, her thoughts, her career choices. I remembered it fondly, and how could I go wrong with a book that won the 1992 Agatha Award and the 1993 Anthony, Edgar, and Macavity awards for best novel.īack in the 1990s, I loved the book because Deborah Knott, the main character, was about the same age as I was. I decided to start with Bootlegger's Daughter. When I heard that Margaret Maron had passed away, I knew I needed to reread (in some cases read) her books again.
