High Country Fall: A Deborah Knott Mystery

High Country Fall: A Deborah Knott Mystery

Perennially popular Judge Deborah Knott returns in Margaret Maron's latest mystery in her award- winning series. With friends and family overreacting to her announcement that she plans to marry Sheriff's Deputy Dwight Bryant, Judge Deborah Knott gratefully seizes the opportunity to put a five-hour drive between herself and Colleton County when the Chief District Court Judge offers her a week on the bench in Cedar Gap. It is early autumn, leaves are turning, and summer residents are preparing to close up their mountain 'cabins' (palatial houses perched atop the most desirable locations) and return to their winter homes in Florida. But Deborah's peaceful break is disrupted when one Floridian is found murdered. He won't be going home, and Deborah won't be either-until she tracks down the killer.
