The 14th outing with Judge Knott and family. This is an easy fast read, but for some reason I had a hard time sinking into the story. Still a lot of shifts in POV, from first-person with Deborah Knott to multiple third-person. I could do with less of that, for instance I don't feel that whatshername's parent's objections to her Mexican boyfriend are necessary to the story. Still a lot of discussion about rampant growth crowding out rural living. I did like how Knott's concern about her initial appointment led her to do some unethical snooping. I did not like the subplot with the preacher, that whole thing felt false. Usually I see the villain pretty early but this time when it was revealed I couldn't even remember the character. Probably my own fault, I did put it down several times before finishing. Oh well, more books are waiting.
