I bought the book because I absolutely loved "The Song Catcher" and the title intrigued me. However, this book is not up to McCrumb standard. What was she thinking???Why would you put some assinine story about a relationship with a dolphin! in with the rest of this book? The other "stories" in the book wove together nicely as a good mystery. Why, oh why, add that nonsense about the dolphin? I may never read another of her books because of this. I can't believe the difference between this and the incredible "Song Catcher"
