THE HANGMAN'S BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER

If your preferred listening is novels, unabridged and unadorned--The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter is an excellent addition to Recorded Books' collection of outstanding mystery novels. Set in Tennessee's Appalachia, this is a richly textured tale of dark family secrets and violent death. Sally Darling nicely captures the regional flavor; she also provides the listener with a credible and ultimately charming vocal presence as the "teller of the tale." This is especially beneficial since about ninety percent of the text consists of narrative or descriptive passages. B.R. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT 93]
