An excellent murder mystery, even though the first corpse doesn’t show up until about page 120 or so.
After that. Lost time is made up for and there is a respectable count by the end of the book. The slices of southern small town life are enjoyable, though the author’s fixation on what her protagonist and every other woman in the book weighs and how they look in their clothes is a bit off putting.plot nice and taut though, characters developed enough and everything falls into place easily .
Warning for those who find sexual violence and or child abuse upsetting…the contents are hard to take

I almost put this one away, several times. The judge isn't really the judge; she just builds houses as a charity and gets followed by bad guys. It seemed to me like Opie, Goober and Gomer were alive and well, not to mention the Asian yard man who devours dogs. Where's the mystery? I don't think that I will bother with the rest of this series.

Another installment of the Judge Deborah Knott series. I really enjoy spending time with her and her North Carolina family. We almost never see her in Court...but there's lots of local color, family drama and whodunit excitement. In this one, there's a monster hurricane coming in, and several local men are on the suspect list when a run-around wife turns up dead in a motel room. It's bubble gum, but it won't rot your teeth or your brain.

After beautiful young cheerleader dies in a car crash that was not an accident, Judge Deborah Knott and sheriff's deputy Dwight Bryant must uncover what really happened before more death further clouds the Christmas season in North Carolina's Colleton County.

Deborah informally gathers information from friends and family about circumstances surrounding the cheerleader’s death while her husband does a formal investigation. There’s a small town feel to the story. There’s a good mix of warm Christmas moments with Deborah’s big extended family. The ending is a bit implausible but it was still an easy story to read.… (meer)
