Best-selling author Margaret Maron creates entertaining mysteries filled with warm southern charm, colorful down-home characters, and smoldering grudges. In Storm Track, swirling dark clouds of illicit affairs and brutal murder threaten Colleton County, North Carolina. No one worries much about the scantily clad woman found strangled in the Orchid Motel--she must be a tourist who brought along her own problems. But when the victim turns out to be the wife of one of Colleton County's up-and-coming lawyers, the news comes as a thunderclap. People begin looking suspiciously among themselves for the culprit, and Judge Deborah Knott learns her own handsome cousin possesses a mighty powerful motive. While Deborah searches for the vicious killer, a deadly hurricane rages up the Carolina coast, bringing destruction and its own kind of justice. Winner of the Edgar and Agatha Awards, Margaret Maron bases this series on her life in rural North Carolina. Narrator C.J. Critt's lilting performance captures both the crackling wit and the heightening suspense.… (mere)

Another installment of the Judge Deborah Knott series. I really enjoy spending time with her and her North Carolina family. We almost never see her in Court...but there's lots of local color, family drama and whodunit excitement. In this one, there's a monster hurricane coming in, and several local men are on the suspect list when a run-around wife turns up dead in a motel room. It's bubble gum, but it won't rot your teeth or your brain.

I had several novels by Margaret Maron on my tbr shelves and I'm sorry they went untouched for so long but I'm been thoroughly enjoying each of them. The backdrop of this mystery is Hurricane Fran: September 5, 1996. Margaret Maron provides the "lead-in" at the opening of Chapter 1,

The situation...is portrayed day by day exactly as it existed, and is not the product of imaginings of writers who put down what the conditions should have been; the storm has been followed from its inception."

This can be checked in many sources online and I have provided the link that I found of interest from the National Weather Service. https://www.weather.gov/ilm/Hurricane... Margaret Maron is a native of North Carolina and although she has lived in Italy and Brooklyn, New York returned to North Carolina to live prior to beginning the "Deborah Knott Mysteries" series so she may have incorporated some of her own memories of Hurricane Fran as well as either hosting or attending hurricane parties into characters' actions and reactions. For this reader, Margaret Maron's use of the actual hurricane event gives not only validity to the story but a deeper understanding and empathy for those that live in the path of hurricanes and some that experience them as a fact of life annually.

I was excited to see that "Deborah Knott's Family Tree" is again available on the opposite page of Chapter 1 as it is very useful. The 1st time that I viewed the family tree was in Book 6, "Home Fires." After reading several books in the series right in a row I'm more familiar with Deborah's large family but it is a good resource and I wish it would have been available in the first book I read in the series which was Book 2, "Southern Discomfort."

Reading this series reminds me of memories of reading Sue Grafton's "Kinsey Millhone Alphabet" series in that each novel in the series seems even better than the last one read and the excitement of reading another. ( )

woman is killed in hotel, lovers suspects, turns out to be husband, Deborah's cousin a suspect and lies to her

Not a lot can ruin the serenity of the lazy, hazy August rhythms of Collection County, North Carolina. Judge Deborah Knott, once again running for election, can count on a round of pleasant softball games, barbecues, and church picnics. But now a hurricane named Fran is gearing up offshore and it looks like the eye of the storm could blow straight through the county. Even worse, the local, scandalous murder of a prominent lawyer's promiscuous wife has shaken up the entire community. As the storm picks up speed, the county gears up with batteries and bottled water -- and a determined killer finds a perfect time to strike again. ( )

Synopsis: There is a hurricane coming and people are rather uncomfortable waiting to see if it will really hit the area. In the meantime life goes on as usual and Deborah is busy playing baseball with a bunch of lawyers and policemen. Nearby, a married woman is murdered. Who is the culprit? Is it the husband or one of the 3 other men she's bedding, including one of Deborah's cousins?
Review: One of her better books with a good story line and some side tales that are every bit as intriguing. ( )
