If Ever I Return, Pretty Peggy O
2 journalers for this copy...
The first book in Sharyn McCrumb's "Ballad Series" set in the mountains of modern-day Tennnessee. Sheriff Spencer Arrowood investigates a threatening note sent to once-famous folksinger Peggy Muryan, and the disappearance of a girl with eerily similar looks.
This is billed as a mystery story, and it is--an excellent one, in fact--but it works equally well as a story of two people trying to work through the pain that long-past events still inflict on them. If I was going to make the argument that "genre fiction" can also be great literature, McCrumb's Ballad series would be Exhibit A.
Very, very good stuff . .. and the series does nothing but get better in the next several books.

I found this book while vacationing on the Vineyard with my family. I plan to finish reading it and release it somewhere on The University of Connecticut campus. From what I've read, this book is excellent and I cannot wait to finish it.
