Home Fires

In "Home Fires," the latest installment of Margaret Maron's beloved Deborah Knott series, the charming rural setting of Colleton County, North Carolina, serves as a backdrop for exploring pressing contemporary issues, particularly racial tension. As Deborah balances her personal life—nurturing her romance with Kidd Chapin, constructing a home on family land, and campaigning for reelection as district judge—her world is shaken when the community faces the shocking act of a church burning. Narrated by C.J. Critt, whose comedic timing and authentic accents bring Deborah's story to life, this audiobook invites listeners to engage with both the warmth and challenges of the Southern experience.
