I really like the Deborah Knott mystery series, but I haven't read much of the Malice Domestic anthologies although friends tell me they're great. The barbed wit of the Knott series gets me giggling every time.

Hi all, I just read Killer Market and really enjoyed it. I haven't read any of her other books but I really like Judge Knott. I am going to be looking for her other books. Does anyone have any favorites?

I prefer the Sigrid Harald series, but they are hard to find. Just a personal preference over the Knott ones--although I have read those too

I first read Bootlegger's Daughter, it is a Knotts book.( I think it's the 1th in series) I loved the ending and then read Shooting at Loon's. It too is a Knotts book and wonderful. I'm now trying the Sigrid Harald series. It sounds good from the reports posted. I really suggest The book Shooting at Loon's for Knotts fans.

What I love about Maron's characters is that they actually have *families*! It seems like so many authors just built their series around unmarried, childless, siblingless orphans!

To: Margaret Maron, Where did you get the name Cyl DeGraffenried?

Slow Dollar: Deborah Knott finds murder on the midway when an annual carnival becomes the site for a savage killing, while being stumped by the discovery of a previously unknown branch of her family tree.

High Country Fall

In the high country, Deborah Knott finds turning leaves...and still corpses. She's been asked to fill in for a vacationing judge in Cedar Gap. The mountain air is brisk and the fall foliage is gorgeous, but he human element isn't quite so nice. A local physician has been brutally murdered and his daughter's boyfriend has been arrested for the crime. Deborah soon realizes ugly undercurrents run beneath the surface of this picture-perfect town.
