In this seventh book in the Deborah Knott mystery series, Judge Knott is drawn into an investigation of a local murder, and suspicion turns to a member of her own family, disclosing a secret romance and much more. A few reviewers found it "imaginative, entertaining and thrilling." Most countered with "forced and stilted, the storm was the most interesting part of the book." "It moves at the pace of a hurricane - slowly, inexorably, and ominously toward a foregone conclusion."
