The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter Audiobook

" This was an fun book, only $.99 on my kindle and well worth is. "

" My favorite in Sharyn McCrumb's Appalachia series. "

" McCrumb may be worthy of my top 10 favored authors. However, since this is the first novel I have read - I hesitate to make that statement with utmost sincerity. Enjoyed the twists and turns in the plot; as well as the constant tugging of my heart for several characters. Well done, Ms. McCrumb! "

" Sharyn McCrumb is one of the few writers that I can think of whose characters are so very real to me. If you ever get a chance to hear McCrumb speak, jump on that chance. She has a wicked wit, a great imagination, and a great ability to weave stories around songs and events and places. "

" A complicated plot of a brother and sister, intense but a very good book. "

" her ballad series novels are wonderful. Haunting, memorable and worth a second read. "

" An engaging book with characters and a plot that keeps you reading. "

" Some good characters but rambles to an unknown ending. "

" Solid mystery with well-drawn characters. I especially enjoyed the old woman with The Sight, and the two old men's revenge on the paper company executive. "

" I love the character Nora Bonesteel, the mountain wise-woman who has the ability to see into the future as well back into the past. This series is my favorite of all of Sharyn McCrumb's books. "

" Excellant characterazation, not so much mystery, only one glaring error how does a Mercury turn into a oldsmobile while driving to NC. "

" FBC Category: Book set in my home state "

" A satisfying read with a satisfying end. Not all mysteries need an explanation. "

" too many stories being told for one book. And I hate The Judds. "

" The first half was slow reading. The pace picked up a bit in the second half. The plot was weak; the subplots were even weaker and didn't really go anywhere or add to the overall story. "

" Beautifully written & an interesting tale, but I cannot forgive it for going on for at least 200 pages too long. If it had been edited down, I would have given it 4 stars. "

" An all time favorite read. Pages are falling out at this point... "

" One of my favorites by Sharyn McCrumb. Her mysteries are beautifully written, with characters that haunt you long after you finish reading. "

" Great characterization and a touching picture of a community apart from the normal American experience. The mystery was not hugely mysterious but I still enjoyed the book! "

" This was an odd story, but for some reason I couldn't quit reading it. I enjoyed it, but wouldn't recommend anyone spend their time on it. Strange, huh? "

" I was worried at the start of this book, because there are some rather morbid parts. However, I liked the character development, and after learning about some of the folklore that inspired the story, I am intrigued by the interwoven vignettes. A fun book to read at Halloween! "

" Good, inasmuch as the setting itself is a "character." Her writing is very good. I'm glad I read it but I don't feel compelled to seek out more of her works. Too many books, too little time! "

" too unpleasant and not very realistic; love the setting "

" One of McCrumb's best mysteries. I love her translations of ballads to novel forms--a style that can be traced back to Maria Edgeworth and Sir Walter Scott. "

" I could NOT get through this book no matter how many times I tried to get re-interested in it. The story drags on and on and on..... "

" Excellent series set in Appalachia mixed with history and mountain lore "
