Fourth in the series but no need to have read the others. Reading this made me a little sad. The ever-increasing encroachment of development into open spaces - either farmland or wild land - and the lure of money underlies the story. As usual it is Knott's family life and all the various relationships that take center stage, with the murder investigation taking place around it. Some twists and turns as Deborah discovers more than one of her family has at least a little motive to kill. Maron does a great job at evoking a sense of place and the dynamics of the large Knott family, and I like Deborah's voice. The mystery plot is not developed as well, but it's still enjoyable.
