I loved the feel of the book--like I was sitting on the porch in a rocking chair watching the clouds in the sky, listening to an old southern grandmother tell the story.

    <body><![CDATA[Sharyn McCrumb is fast becoming one of my favorite authors!  The Appalachian Mountains are not one of the places I naturally gravitate to for reading, but this is the second (or maybe third) book of hers set in that area, and I like each one better.

    <![CDATA[It would have been almost impossible for McCrumb to top her last book, She Walks These Hills, one of the best mysteries of the last decade. But this story of a Southern family haunted by deeds done and undone comes very close: It's full of beautifully-observed details of everyday life which anchor the mystical moments and keep us rooted in reality. This one -- and other McCrumb classics like The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter -- are perfect gifts for readers who haven't yet found a way into the mystery genre.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[This is the first book I've read by Sharyn McCrumb; I've heard good things about her, but this is not one of her best books -- just the only one I could find at the library.  She weaves a lot of history into her book, which I really like.  She also enjoys adding a ghostly ingredient which is also fu...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/44368011">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[It would have been almost impossible for McCrumb to top her last book, She Walks These Hills, one of the best mysteries of the last decade. But this story of a Southern family haunted by deeds done and undone comes very close: It's full of beautifully-observed details of everyday life which anchor the mystical moments and keep us rooted in reality. This one -- and other McCrumb classics like The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter -- are perfect gifts for readers who haven't yet found a way into the mystery genre.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Two characters from her The Ballad of Frankie Silver are in this book as well. This is a good read, not as deep or thought provoking as Frankie Silver, but it's a good look at male relationships and secrets from the past and father - son bonds. There are a lot of story lines in this one.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Although this story had sort of a convulated divergence of mysteries (two of them) it was the characterization and the culture of these mountain people that intrigued me.  The author gets a little mystical from time to time-- but still, she writes some interesting stuff.  ]]></body>
