Sharyn McCrumb has been called a writer of rare talent. If you haven't read her work, this is a great place to start.

Blessed with the "Sight" old Nora Bonesteel is the first to know about the murder-suicide in Dark Hollow, Tennessee. Four members of the Underhill famil lie dead on a run-down farm. And Sheriff Spencer Arrowood has this worried feeling that the bad things aren't over. Old Nora knows they aren't for what she saw was the kind of dying that will test the courage of the living and a sheriff's insights into country ways and hearts.
