I thoroughly enjoyed this book as I have all of Margaret Maron's books, particularly the Judge Deborah Knott series of which this is a part. In this case, Judge Knott travels to the real North Carolina pottery-making community of Seagrove. Her job is to oversee the equitable distribution of marital property. The marriage of two successful potters has come to a bitter end after 25 years. Murder ensues. BTW, some of the minor characters are actual well-known NC potters. Each chapter starts with a quote from one a several books on Seagrove pottery. Besides providing an excellent mystery read, I felt like I learned a lot about pottery. In fact, this book inspired me to start collecting NC pottery. In particular, it inspired the selection of the first piece in my collection: a Chinese Red Egg Vase made by Ben Owen III. Enjoy!
