This research paper: A 4 page book review that focuses on McCrumb's use of setting in this novel. While this novel is billed as a mystery/suspense novel, the reviewer argues that it is much more than that. McCrumb, basically, uses the conventions of the mystery genre in order to present a sympathetic portrayal of a region that is often denigrated, Appalachia. It is indicative of McCrumb's superb talent as a writer that can she can bring off this reversal, that is, making the action/suspense secondary to the setting. In so doing, McCrumb offers a novel that displays considerable insight into the nature and character of the people of this region while also providing the entertainment elements inherent in a mystery/suspense plot. No additional sources cited.
