Judge Deborah Knott and Sheriff 's Deputy Dwight Bryant are on a train to New York, finally on a honeymoon after a year of marriage. January in New York might not be the perfect time to visit, but they'll take it. The trip is a Christmas present from Dwight's sister-in-law, who arranged for them to stay in an Upper West Side apartment for one week. While in New York, Deborah has been asked to deliver a package to Lt. Sigrid Harald of the NYPD. Sigrid offers to swing by the apartment to pick up the box, but when they reach the apartment, they discover that it is missing and the doorman has been murdered. Despite their best efforts to enjoy a blissful getaway, Deborah and Dwight soon find that they've teamed up with Sigrid and her team to catch the killer before he strikes again.

      Bestseller Maron’s charming 17th Deborah Knott mystery (after 2010’s Christmas Mourning) takes the North Carolina judge and her husband of one year, Dwight Bryant, to New York City for a belated honeymoon. They bear an unusual gift, a small bronze sculpture, for photojournalist Anne Lattimore Harald from Anne’s dying mother, wealthy Jane Lattimore, who’s a distant cousin of Deborah’s. Deborah arranges to meet Anne’s daughter, NYPD Lt. Sigrid Harald, who will pick up the gift, at a large party next door to the Manhattan apartment that an absent friend is letting the couple use. When Sigrid and Deborah return to the borrowed apartment, the sculpture is missing from the kitchen counter; worse, the dead body of the building’s super is lying on the balcony. Could someone from the party be responsible for the theft and the murder? Deborah, with her inveterate curiosity, assists Sigrid, last seen in her own series in 1995’s Fugitive Colors, in the official investigation. This is a strong addition to a series that’s won Edgar, Agatha, Anthony, and Macavity awards.

      During their belated honeymoon in New York City, Judge Deborah Knott and her husband have a small task to perform--delivering a package to a distant cousin. The package turns out to contain a rare erotic sculpture with a twisted history, and the distant cousin turns out to be Sigrid Harrold, last seen in Maron's 1995 novel, FUGITIVE COLORS. The result is a tightly scripted story of theft and murder, told in two voices and narrated with verve by C.J. Critt. While her voice lacks a Carolina cadence when reading the chapters from Judge Knott's perspective, Critt has the timing, tone, and attitudes of the characters down pat. S.E.S.

      In the latest installment of the "Deborah Knott" series, Judge Deborah and her new husband, Deputy Dwight Bryant, take a belated honeymoon in New York City. Before leaving, she is asked by a North Carolina neighbor to deliver a package (a questionable sculpture with a storied past) to the woman's Manhattanite granddaughter. Before Deborah can fulfill the request, the package disappears, and the superintendent of the building where Deborah and Dwight are guests is found dead in their borrowed apartment. Instead of a honeymoon, the new couple joins the NYPD to find the killer. VERDICT Well narrated by CJ Critt, Three-Day Town is a charming and funny mystery, well written and full of quirky characters. Fans of the previous Knott stories will surely enjoy this title, as will fans of Sara Paretsky, Janet Evanovich, and Rita Mae Brown.--Nicole A. Cooke, Montclair State Univ. Lib., NJ
