Old Fish Hawk

Summary: Old Fish Hawk, Audio Abridged Edition
Review: A very nice story, well told. True to the time period and location, the Missouri Ozarks in the mid 1800s. Read by the author with a pure, Southern Ozarks accent. This can take some getting used to, even for a Missouri native like myself, but don't give up on it, the story is worth the listening effort. My one criticism would be that Mr. Jaynes seems to be a little rushed in his reading, which makes interpretion of his accent that much more difficult.

Summary: A riveting, satisfying read
Review: Clearing out my mother's house last month, I came across this old paperback. It had my sister's name in it, so I brought it home to mail to her, as she is out of state. I decided to go ahead and read it beforehand. From the first chapter, I was hooked. It is a story of redemption such as you rarely get to read. It had some truly admirable characters, and built up enough suspense that it was hard to put it down and sleep.
