Product Description
Perennially popular Judge Deborah Knott returns in Margaret Maron's latest mystery in her award- winning series. With friends and family overreacting to her announcement that she plans to marry Sheriff's Deputy Dwight Bryant, Judge Deborah Knott gratefully seizes the opportunity to put a five-hour drive between herself and Colleton County when the Chief District Court Judge offers her a week on the bench in Cedar Gap. It is early autumn, leaves are turning, and summer residents are preparing to close up their mountain 'cabins' (palatial houses perched atop the most desirable locations) and return to their winter homes in Florida. But Deborah's peaceful break is disrupted when one Floridian is found murdered. He won't be going home, and Deborah won't be either-until she tracks down the killer.

Kellie (USA: NC) (2008/05/04):
#10 of the Deborah Knott series-Maron’s style is consistent from book to book. You can count on a subject that is a depiction of a specific aspect of North Carolina life, the continuing saga of Deborah Knott’s life as a District Court Judge and her family and finally a murder mystery to give it just enough suspense and mystery to keep you up until you finish the book. Sometimes, the mystery is a little weak as it is in this one. But the Knott story keeps the reader satisfied enough to keep wanting more. High Country Fall takes place in the North Carolina mountains. I believe this is the first in the Knott series with this setting. Maron educates us on the development of the mountains and the mix of native mountain folks with the Floridians that have found the mountains as their summer home. She then continues the Knott story with Deborah trying to adjust to the thought of the engagement ring on her finger. And finally, the murder of a prominent doctor and local real estate agent makes the novel complete. This is not my favorite of the series, but it is definitely satisfying.
