LONG UPON THE LAND
by Margaret Maron
This last Deborah Knott book ties up some loss ends from
other books in the series and tells us the love story of Deborah’s
parents. And, of course, being a
Margaret Maron mystery, the present day murder has ties to the past. Told in alternating chapters of the 1950’s
love story and the present day murder, Maron succeeds in telling two
interesting tales in one book. I am sad
to see Deborah’s story end. I have grown
to care for the family members who inhabit these tales. The land is also an important player.
If you like Maron’s previous books, this one will be
satisfying. If you are a new reader, this one will inspire you to search out the
others starting with THE BOOTLEGGER”S DAUGHTER. Maron writes tightly plotted
mysteries that also have breadth of character and place. This one is no
exception.
