One Coffee With by Margaret Maron
An award-winning mystery novelist and New York Times Bestseller, Margaret Maron uses her North Carolina background when writing the popular Judge Deborah Knott series. But before Deborah Knott, there was Lt. Sigrid Harald, a homicide detective with the NYPD. Now, with the re-release of Maron's very first book, long out of print, new readers can finally get to know the character that started it all. In One Coffee With, we meet Sigrid for the first time when murder strikes the Art Department of Vanderlyn College. Who poisoned the deputy chairman's morning coffee? Everyone in the department had both motive and opportunity and it will take Lt. Harald's cool, level-headedness to determine who the killer is before he -or she- strikes again. Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine has said, Harald is no stereotypical policewoman.Getting to know her is a pleasure; while the San Diego Union-Tribune says, Maron combines a lighthearted style, surefooted suspense, and a captivating cast.MARGARET MARON grew raised in the country near Raleigh, North Carolina, then moved to Brooklyn, New York, for a number of years. She began a series based on her own past when she and her artist husband returned to the farm that had been in her family for a century. The first novel, Bootlegger's Daughter, was a Washington Post bestseller that won all of the major mystery honors for the year, including the Edgar, Agatha, Anthony, and Macavity Awards for Best Novel, and was named one of the Independent Mystery Booksellers Association's 100 Favorite Mysteries of the Century. Up Jumps the Devil, Storm Track, and Three-Day Town, all later Deborah Knott novels, earned the Agatha Award for Best Novel. Margaret is also the creator of the Sigrid Harald mystery series.
Maron was honored with the North Carolina Award for Literary in 2008, the state's highest civilian honor. Maron's achievements to the mystery genre were recognized in 2013 when the Mystery Writers of America named her a Grand Master, an distinction first conferred on Agatha Christie.
