Search - Shooting at Loons (Deborah Knott, Bk 3)

This entire series of Judge Deborah Knott by Margaret Maron is an absolutely joy to read.
The characters are well thought out and explained and continued throughout the series.
The locations and situations are wonderful too - even with the 'journalistic license' taken.
One feels you know the places, folks, taste the food, experience the wonderful place that is
North Carolina. I simply just loved it and could not wait to read on and on.

I enjoy this series.

#3 in the Judge Deborah Knott series, this one taking place on the Crystal Shore of North Carolina where Deborah has gone to sit in for a judge in another county while she spends time at her cousins' seaside island cottage. Before she knows what's going on, Judge Knott is standing over the dead body of a neighbor who's been shot. Though determined not to get embroiled in the investigation, it isn't long before Deborah is hearing far too much local gossip and finds her interest piqued. When she discovers a second body a few days later and uncovers some other illegal goings-on, she begins to wonder what information is connected to what, and which are red herrings. Enjoyable, light read though all the southern dialogue with the "ya’lling" and "Daddying" gets old after a bit for this northern girl. LOL I still like this series, though!
