A different type of mystery with so many characters that I had to keep looking in the front family tree to remember who was being mentioned. I liked the sub story about her parents. This is the first book in this series that I have read, I am going to try to pick up some of the older ones and see if I like. I forget most books by the year or even the month after I read them, but I really enjoyed her stories about her father, the bootlegger.
I've finally finished re-reading this series. (Odd fact: it was 7 years ago to the day that I read this book the first time). I thought the entire series is very even in quality and this last entry is much the same. Lots of family time, an obvious murderer, switched between Deborah's first-person POV and Dwight's third-person. Deborah's parents' subplot was interesting enough, and I did enjoy the very end of it. All in all, these were pleasant mysteries with very little thought needed. Even though I've now read them all twice, I won't remember the plots a year from now. I guess I'll keep them on my shelves only because I'm possessive about books. But if I need a couple feet of shelf space, they're in line for the library book sale.
