The Ballad of Tom Dooley by Sharyn McCrumb

2.0

I love Sharyn McCrumb and was anxious to read this book. Unfortunately, this book was drudgery and I did not enjoy it at all. Usually a master at storytelling, this book fell flat with me. I was not drawn into the story, nor did I enjoy the one-dimensional characters. When I finished the book, I enjoyed reading about Sharyn's research but was disappointed in the story and how detached I felt from it all.
