The Resource  Unknown Label

Description: Sharyn McCrumb, best known for her Ballad novels and her Elizabeth MacPherson mysteries, writes outside those series, too. McCrumb addresses the importance of place and the role of stories in people's lives. She offers affectionately-drawn characters; an unsentimental view of human nature; and incorporates mountain music and lore into her works, often set in Appalachia. Crime is less whodunit, than why they did it. Conflict between contemporary culture's interests and the values and ideals of those living close to the land is a common concern. Her accessible prose often includes snippets of ballads. Start with: The Ballad of Frankie Silver
