Tom Dooley (2011) - Plot & Excerpts

I have read most of Sharyn McCrumb's ballad novels. This ballad was made popular by the Kingston Trio and others in the '60s. McCrumb takes the ballad and does an enormous amount of research to come up with a story that could have really happened. She writes with a voice that puts the reader right in that place and time. Her details and descriptions are so vivid I have carried them into dreams. I did not dislike this book, but I can't say it would be something I'd recommend. I listened to this book on my daily commute and more than once I was sure I was listening to the wrong CD because I was sure I'd already "read" that section. Ms. McCrumb disappointed me with this book - her past work was so wonderful. This book was over-long and far too complicated. The psychopathic Laura Foster was frightening and -- frankly -- unbelievable.
