Margaret Maron

Margaret MaronMargaret Maron is the award-winning author of two mystery series: the NYPD detective Sigrid Harald series, and the Deborah Knott series. Local folks tend to favor Deborah, who comes from a large family of boys (and a bootlegger Daddy) and serves as a judge in Colleton County, NC. Margaret's mysteries are seasoned with delicious characters, touching relationships, and a few dead bodies to spice up the action.
