Publisher's Summary:

In 1934 all the national publications sent their star reporters to remote Virginia to cover the trial of Erma Morton: a beautiful 21-year-old mountain girl with a teaching degree, accused of murdering her father a drunken tyrant of a man.

Four seasoned journalists descend upon the small town nothing sells papers better than a wronged woman on trial, or descriptions of backwards mountain life. Yet instead of rundown shacks and horse-drawn buggies, they found gas stations and coal company executivesbut the truth can always be manipulated to suit the audience.

Except that among them is Carl Jennings, an 18-year-old novice journalist from Tennessee who accurately reports on the trial and the citizens of the town. So when their articles conflict, Carl is condemned for perjury, while the other journalists sell Erma Mortons verdict to the highest bidder. Soon, it is not the actual murder that is of interest, but the vultures attracted to the death. In the midst of all this, Carl continues to search for the truth, relying on his younger cousin, Nora gifted with the sight for help.

A stunning return to the lands, ballads, and characters upon which she made her name, The Devil Amongst the Lawyers is a testament to Sharyn McCrumbs lyrical and poetic writing.

Critic Reviews:

Ms. McCrumb writes with quiet fire and maybe a little mountain magicShe plucks the mysteries from peoples lives and works these dark narrative threads into Appalachian legends older than the hills. Like every true storyteller, she has the Sight. (

When Parthia hears of the Roman army's presence, it starts amassing its troops for war.

Title: Becoming Bonnie

Subtitle: A Novel

Author: Jenni L. Walsh

Narrator: Susan Bennett

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12 hrs

Language: English

Release date: 05-09-17

Publisher: Macmillan Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 11 votes

Genres: Fiction, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

From debut historical novelist Jenni L. Walsh, Becoming Bonnie is the untold story of how wholesome Bonnelyn Parker became half of the infamous Bonnie and Clyde duo!

The summer of 1927 might be the height of the Roaring '20s, but Bonnelyn Parker is more likely to belt out a church hymn than sling drinks at an illicit juice joint. She's a sharp girl with plans to overcome her family's poverty, provide for herself, and maybe someday marry her boyfriend, Roy Thornton. But when Roy springs a proposal on her and financial woes jeopardize her ambitions, Bonnelyn finds salvation in an unlikely place: Dallas' newest speakeasy, Doc's.

Living the life of a moll at night, Bonnie remains a wholesome girl by day, engaged to Roy, attending school, and working toward a steady future. When Roy discovers her secret life, he embraces it - perhaps too much, especially when it comes to booze and gambling - and she tries to make the pieces fit. Maybe she can have it all: the American dream, the husband, and the intoxicating allure of jazz music. But her life - like her country - is headed for a crash.

Bonnie Parker is about to meet Clyde Barrow.

Critic Reviews:

"A compelling account of a nation and a life in disarray - readers will feel for Bonnelyn as she finds herself scrabbling for survival in a world turned upside down." (New York Times best-selling author Lauren Willig)
