As good as I remembered from the first time. Solid mystery, good characters, excellent sense of place. The whole family ties thing that Maron does so well just fascinates me - second cousins twice removed etc. Not only do I not know anyone farther removed from me than a cousin, I'm not even in contact with any cousins. Most of them I could pass in the street and not recognize. I liked the cold case aspect, and that people are willing to talk to Knott because of her family ties, her current status as a lawyer, her potential election to the court. Not quite sure if I believe the ending. There are things found after the murderer is discovered and I felt, given what was described, it would have been hard for the murderer to have kept that secret for so long. But a sad ending for almost everyone involved in that. I liked the political maneuvering at the end too, as I remember when I first read it that was almost my favorite part.
