A review by judyward
The Buzzard Table by Margaret Maron

3.0

A British ornithology who is studying turkey vultures, a missing local realtor of questionable morals, and a dead pilot in a local motel are all involved in the latest Deborah Knott mystery. Set, as usual in Colleton County, North Carolina, a rural county outside Raleigh, the local airport seems to be involved in secret, controversial CIA flights involving terror suspects. The FBI will become involved before the truth is uncovered in several, seemingly interconnected, cases and moral choices will have to be faced by several of the book's major characters. I missed not having more involvement from Deborah's huge extended family, but loved the presentation of adoption as such a positive experience. This is the eighteenth book in the Deborah Knott series and the series is still going strong.
