I know some readers don't consider her books to be cozies, but I read yesterday that Margaret Maron died last week. I read both of her series -- Sig Harald and Deborah Knott -- but prefer the Deborah Knott books. Good thing I'm nowhere near finishing either series, so I still have quite a few of her books left to read.

Thank you for letting us know, Barb.

Margaret Maron was a favorite author. Her Deborah Knott series was a featured read for our group several years ago and she graciously joined in the discussion.

I enjoyed both series though prefer the Deborah Knott books. Love the irony of a bootlegger's daughter being a judge and the mysteries are top notch. I have quite a few books let to read too. Now is a good time to catch up.

I loved the Sigrid Harald series. She was such a complex character and the series was so gritty.
I haven't read as many of the Deborah Knott series, don't know why. I enjoyed them very much. The connections to family and the descriptions of the region are so comfortable.
With both series the mysteries are believable and the writing is exceptional. Ms. Maron will be missed and always remembered through her books.

Vintage (vintagesedona) Oh no! She was such a good writer. Sigrid and Deborah Knott were such great characters.

Sherrie | 56 comments She will be missed. I have read all of the Deborah Knott series and have left reviews. She really put alot into this main character as a judge and a bootlegger's daughter she had alot going on. A very strong character and a good judge of character as well.
