One of McCrumb's great Appalachian novels. This one is the sixth in the series. It's better (although not necessary)to read the entire series in order, as her characters evolve throughout the series. She's a really great author.

This is an excellent book for those who love mysteries and southern stories. Sharyn McCrumb includes the "mountain" culture in this true-to-life story about southerners that are cultured and intellegent. I resent anything that attempts to make southerners look stupid, and McCrumb never does that!

Another great book by Sharyn McCrumb; it is a good story which takes place in Appalachia. Her writing vividly paints a picture of the beauty and culture of this area of the US. Other reviews detail story plot.
