Best-selling author Margaret Maron’s colourful Deborah Knott mysteries crackle with sassy Southern dialogue and rural wisdom. In Up Jumps the Devil, fast-moving improvement is certainly threatening to forever destroy the leisurely, heart-warming speed of Colleton State, North Carolina. Region court judge Deborah Knott sees trouble brewing when plans for a fresh interstate highway begin pushing up real estate beliefs. As her own relatives battle lifelong neighbors over offering farmland or holding out, Deborah discovers herself calming the combatants with down-home wit-and sometimes, judicial decisions. However when the squabbles escalate to murder, Deborah is certainly forced to find the killer uncomfortably close to home. Margaret Maron skillfully draws on her NEW YORK roots to pencil her well-crafted, suspenseful mysteries. Her innovative talents have earned her the coveted Edgar, Agatha, Macavity, and Anthony Awards. Salt-of-the-earth characters, vivid with lilting, down-home laughter and unwavering opinions, step in the web pages when narrator C.J. Critt breathes existence into them.
