Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“McCrumb surpasses lauded earlier novels, including 1988 Edgar winner Bimbos of the Death Sun, with this inventive mystery…A superior mystery, the book is also a masterful drama of lives shaped by traumatic events, as McCrumb bares the psyches of her characters.” —Publisher Weekly
“The gentle southern voice of Sally Darling is tailor-made for this rural Tennessee tale. Her subtle vocal shadings bring each character vividly to life, and she takes great care to understand their underlying moods, motivations and idiosyncrasies. More importantly, she pays careful attention to the text, pacing herself appropriately to written cues. She even turns out a couple of creditable performances of Peggy’s songs.” —AudioFile
“McCrumb resurrects the 1960s through the planning of a twentieth high-school reunion for the Class of ’66, complete with music, clothing styles, and school activities of the era…The writing is enlivened with slices of humorous dialogue, unusual characters, and a fast-paced plot…captivating.” —School Library Journal
