			        		MARGARET MARON grew up in the country near Raleigh, North Carolina, but for many years lived in Brooklyn, New York. When she and her artist husband returned to the farm that had been in her family for a hundred years, she began a series based on her own background. The first book, Bootlegger&apos;s Daughter, became a Washington Post bestseller that swept the major mystery awards for its year-winning the Edgar, Agatha, Anthony, and Macavity Awards for Best Novel-and is among the 100 Favorite Mysteries of the Century as selected by the Independent Mystery Booksellers Association. Later Deborah Knott novels Up Jumps the Devil, Storm Track, and Three-Day Town each also won the Agatha Award for Best Novel. Margaret is also the author of the Sigrid Harald series of detective novels. In 2008, Maron received the North Carolina Award for Literature, the highest civilian honor the state bestows on its authors. And in 2013, the Mystery Writers of America celebrated Maron&apos;s contributions to the mystery genre by naming her a Grand Master-an honor first bestowed on Agatha Christie.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A Mystery That Lacks Passion
  

*by J***T on August 5, 2017*









  
  
    I was intrigued when I first read a review in the newspaper about this book.  It seemed to stress the importance of Margaret Maron as a top mystery writer.  her heroine is Sigrid Harald, a detective lieutenant in PDNY. She also lost a former lover, Oscar Naumann, to a mysterious car accident in California.  She finds herself inheriting Naumann's vast artwork collection, among other things.  Then two seemingly homeless men are found poisoned on a park bench in the West Village.  One was a godson to the wife of a notorious gangster, the other would not be identified until the middle of the book.  There are few twists and surprises in this ponderous, statically written book.  The one surprise is the appearance of a young man from his travels in Europe who tries to make a claim to Naumann's fortune.  The characters are not vivid. There is opportunity here to lend some color to the characters, some personality, but Ms. Maron doesn't seem to care.  I've read reporters' accounts on crimes that were more enlightening than this book.  There is enough of a plot idea in this book to have made this into a really intriguing, thrilling book- you know, the type of book that in the last third picks up momentum, picks up thrills, and the reader feels he/she cannot put down the book.  I did not experience this with this book.  In fact, I guessed the killer.  And you, as the reader will, too.  That is, unless due to the static, passionless writing you may experience, you decide to just give up on this book and go back to Michael Connolly's mysteries.
  


### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Not Even Close To Her Best
  

*by J***H on November 12, 2018*









  
  
    The one positive thing I can say about "Take Out" is that it is better written than "Three Day Town", but not by much.  I loved and miss Judge Deborah Knott and her interesting, realistic family and suspenseful plots, therefore it's hard to believe that the same writer wrote this bloodless tome.  It reads like it was written in a monotone by Sgt. Joe Friday.  Every character is two dimensional.  The plot is never exciting.  Miss Marple books are more interesting.The plots and characters in the earlier Sigrid Harald books are more interesting.  This one is emotionally disconnected, the characters are never fleshed out, and it reads like it's a story outline outline waiting to be brought to life.

    Good mystery
  

*by B***R on February 12, 2018*









  
  
    TAKE OUT  by Margaret MaronI love Maron’s Deborah Knott books. This is only the second Sigrid Harald novel I have read.  I was unfamiliar with the recurring characters, so I was often to turning back to see “who is this”, especially considering there are three separate plots and three sets of characters to keep straight.  Once I got familiar with them, all the plot(s) moved along quickly.The New York setting was on point with a number of neighborhood businesses and interest points used.  Lt. Harold’s relationship with artist Oscar Nauman is part of the plotting along with a gallery, a mobster’s family and an aging opera star.  The plots are intriguing and keep you guessing (I did quickly figure out one point, yea, me) with enough ambiguity to keep you reading.Good reading, but I still like the Deborah Knott books better.4 of 5 stars
