HIGH COUNTRY FALL

Judge Deborah Knott travels up to the mountains of North Carolina to sit in for a judge on vacation. The courthouse is located in a poor rural town that has lots going on behind the scenes as it transforms itself into a tourist haven of boutiques and seasonal home-owners. C.J. Critt plows right into the middle of murder and mystery. Those involved are a cast of characters with attitude, and the veteran Critt is, as always, right at home as she brings to life the feisty judge, her college-age cousins, and other locals. Her narration moves at a quick pace as the judge finds the key to the mystery. J.E.M. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG/SEP 05]
