Library's review

are borrowing for their visit. Things I liked: Deborah and Dwight's relationship, the cross-over with one of Maron's other series characters, NYPD lieutenant Sigrid Harald, and the NYC setting. Things I could have done without: Deborah ending up in physical danger again by trying to solve the murder on her own. Things I could have used more of: I missed the usual North Carolina setting and the interest and amusement provided by Deborah's huge family (11 brothers and a bootlegger daddy). Still worth reading, overall. Show Less
