It was nice to meet up with Sigrid Harold again, and with the use of poetic license, the author has us catching up with her just three years after the death of her artist husband. She is still grieving and still on the prickly side. I'd forgotten, but she will also appear in the next of the Judge Deborah Knott books, but this time in South Carolina where Deborah is from instead of in NYC. She has a grandmother there who we already know is dying. I really enjoyed this book. Maron keeps the reader guessing as to "whodunit" throughout the book. The reason I do not give higher ratings to her books is that one way she keeps the reader guessing is that in this book, as in her others, the culprit is some character from the periphery and so only unsuspected because not really a part of the story until guilt is revealed at the virtual end of the book.Enjoyable to read these books for their superficial value.
What do You think about Three-Day Town (2011)?
Great Deborah Knott mystery. I have the whole series and have re-read them several times.

Maron's books are always fast reads and fun.
