I'm from the town in which this book is referenced. My grandpa worked for James Jackson and retired from RCM. He went to his grave a few years ago still believing Jackson to be an innocent man. This book is amazing and the narrator completed the package.

Absolutely Amazing

If you have never heard an actual Southern accent or prefer one that appears to be stolen directly from a 1960s tv show, then perhaps you won’t want to throw something against a wall when you listen to this narrator.
