    <body><![CDATA[This is my second book by Sharyn McCrumb, and I liked this one best.  She has such a way of transporting me to backwoods Tennessee.  I feel like I'm sitting on somebody's porch, listening to Uncle Asa tell stories.  This story just meanders on down the hill, taking its own sweet time.

    <body><![CDATA[McCrumb does a wonderful job in describing the mountains and people. I adore her use of old-time folk lore to enhance the story. In this tale, two brothers and the parents are brutally murdered by the oldest son, who also takes his own life. The story has other tragedies besides this: the burning de...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/66884079">more...</a>]]></body>

She has a wicked wit, a great imagination, and a great ability to weave stories around songs and events and places.  ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I read this in my teens, and I remember being totally captivated by the book, reading it for eight hours straight, not able to tear myself away.  I don't know what I would think of it if I read it now, though.  I may give it a second look once I pull my old books out of storage.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I love all of McCrumb's ballad series. Not necessarily the best writing, nor the most intriguing mysteries, but the way that she weaves together the stories behind each of the folk ballads with the modern-time happenings is just...magic to me.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A fun, quick read. Murder and intrigue in Appalachia. I always enjoy the mystery meets anthropology reads. If you like Tony Hillerman's Navajo mysteries, you'd probably like this one.]]></body>
