**** 4 stars
I read this book probably about 20 years ago. I have such a specific memory of discovering McCrumb and sharing her books with the book buddy at the job I had at the time (in the IT department at the Mirage in Vegas!) I remember him saying the book had the most beautiful opening line he had ever read. This book is a good example of McCrumb's excellent writing and lovely style.
This is a good mystery and I liked the setting (both the time and place). I am a big fan of McCrumb and have kept up with all her Ballad books, so it was really fun to re-read this one.
