I think Margaret Maron's chatty, colourful, helpful segues about characters are as enjoyable as her mystery. There doesn't seem to be any danger to investigating Janie Whitehead's shocking death. A present threat might become added to the plot, as novels do but the cold case is interesting and touching enough. Something I notice is that each time old questions are posed, we acquaint the present people differently.

I'll tell you what, I love this book; in a manner that proves the same rules don't always produce excellent books. Here is an author who takes larges segues, giving intimate descriptions of people who seem tertiary. First point: we don't mind because she delivers it like we are chatting over "sweet tea". Second point: these people *are* applicable to her story and her thoroughness has us understand everything.

I am finally trying out the great Margaret Maron. I have had this novel for ages, which is thankfully first since it is a series. I own a smattering of other volumes, which makes it annoying to dive into literature because I now have to buy the connecting volumes. I cannot stand to read out of order because I have a mystery-solver's mind for details, clues, and character-building. Anyhow, I like Margaret already!
