The Devil Amongst the Lawyers

Author: Sharyn McCrumb
Stars: 5
Review by: SCL

Excellent book.  A murder trial in 1935 rural Virginia garners national attention.  The "big city" reporters arrive along with Carl, the local boy looking to make it as a reporter.  There is mystery about the crime, commentary on the press (that may apply today as well), and thought provoking insight into the private lives of the characters.  I enjoyed each of the intertwining stories, and was satisified with the ending.
