Why read it?
1 author picked Bootlegger's Daughter as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love this book for many reasons—its rural Southern setting, its lawyer/judge protagonist Deborah Knott, its twisty mystery. But I was particularly intrigued when author Margaret Maron told me that the spark for the book was a real unsolved murder near her North Carolina home. I wrote about the real case when it was finally solved in Triangle True Crime, but Margaret’s version of what might have happened is so much more interesting.
From Cathy's list on for people who think they don’t like true crime.
