Small Town Georgia

This book was a very enjoyable listen. The author’s vivid descriptions easily brought the characters to life. Secrets are unearthed in a small town in southern USA, with a twist here and there. The narrator did an excellent job and I had no trouble distinguishing between the characters.

A little pretentious

This is a good, character-driven mystery. It might have been great except for two things: First, although the characters are fully defined, the action and events are not. significant questions remain unanswered at the end of the story.

Second, each chapter begins with a section of pretentious babble -- meaningless sentences with no apparent relation to the story, seemingly included in a failed attempt to make the story more literary.

Rhett Samuel Price's performance borders on melodramatic and his accents aren't exactly accurate. Some are so think that it's difficult to understand, but he does manage to distinguish character voices.

Good Southern Mystery

If I'm being perfectly honest, it took about an hour to really get into the book. Jane and Willow started out as very unlikable characters and Malcolm was just a despicable excuse for a human being. As the plot unfolded and the pace of the story picked up, I quickly became more engaged. Characters that I initially had no interest in became more sympathetic and relatable. I'm glad that I stuck with it because it turned out to be quite entertaining. I enjoyed the mystery, suspense and family drama. I would have given the story rating a 5 but the ending didn't quite tie up all of the loose ends for me. Rhett Samuel Price gave a great performance and made Black Bird, Fly! a very enjoyable listen. I would recommend this.

Great Read

I really enjoyed the story, the way in which it was written, and the narrator. I usually stick with nonfiction or classic literature, but I'm glad I tried something new. I would highly recommend this book. I will be keeping my fingers crossed for a sequel.
