3.0 out of 5 stars mild storm, April 5, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Storm Track (Hardcover)

I have been a fan of Margaret Maron for years--beginning with her NY series--and now always preorder the Deborah Knott volumes. While certain parts of the story were well up to her best, especially the storm watching and writing minister's son, I was disappointed with the lack of growth in our knowledge of the large Knot family. There were excellant scenes with Kezzie, the daddy of the clan, but the others including cousin Reid--the maybe suspect--seemed very shallow. The mystery itself was OK but predictable, although I reread a couple of key pages several times and do not yet feel that the ending "reasoning" tracked. I would recommend this book as a good diversion read but not a great one like so many of her others.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very good addition to the Deborah Knott series, May 12, 2000

The latest of Maron's Deborah Knott series is full of action. A hurricane is bearing down on Colleton County and a woman is found murdered in a local motel. As usual, the characters are interesting and the storyline keeps you guessing. I started this book when I got home from work and did not put it down until I was finished.

This review is from: Storm Track (Hardcover)

Hurricane Fran is heading north towards Colleton County, North Carolina, leaving citizens concerned with its potential impact. However, before the storm hits, someone kills Lynn Bullock, wife of an attorney. Better known by most of the locals as The Tramp, Lynn was found dead in a motel room.

Any number of males including the victim's spouse could be the killer. However, law enforcement officials suspect Reid Stephenson committed the crime. Reid's cousin, Judge Deborah Knott, knows that her beloved relative did not murder Lynn. To prove his innocence, Deborah begins her own investigation, but not before a second brutal killing occurs. As events spiral out of control, the hurricane arrives to cause even more havoc.

In spite of the raging storm and series of murders, the latest Judge Knott tale is more of a character piece that deeply looks into the social behavior and interrelationships of various protagonists, especially the extended "Knott" clan. Though the who-done-it is straightforward, the plot remains entertaining as the audience gains insight into Judge Knott and kin. Margaret Maron has another triumphant relationship mystery that will send new fans seeking other Judge Knott novels and the author's wonderful Sigrid Harald books.
