SO FAR FROM HOME: THE PEARL BRYAN MURDER

by Robert Wilhelm

Narrated by: Charles Huddleston

Production by: Night Stick Press

100-Year-Old, Small-Town Murder!

In the woods of Northern Kentucky, the headless corpse of a young woman is found. From this point forward, the story captures the imagination and attention of national audiences and headlines! Involving people from three states – Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky. Will the family of Pearl Bryan see real justice, or will political and social factors muddy the investigation and subsequent outcome?

The author, Robert Wilhelm, researches the 100-year-old murder of Pearl Bryan in great detail and without bias. Although there is some creative dialogue and some thought processes, they are logical and keep the story accurate based on the time and climate of the population at that time. Having had a family growing up in this area, I feel Wilhelm accurately captures the attitudes, actions, and beliefs of the people of Greencastle, Indiana, regarding relationships, religious thought, and behaviors both politically and socially for this time period. The brutality of this crime and the actions and behaviors of the two young men convicted for this crime is vividly portrayed.

The narrator, Charles Huddleston provides a solid narration as he tells the story of Pearl and the subsequent trial. He speaks clearly and with a steady cadence moving the story forward. His deep voice and rich voice with the right amount of inflection keep the audience captivated.

I enjoy true crime stories and found this one to be intriguing, well-researched, and highly accurate in many ways. I enjoyed Wilhelm’s storytelling style as well. I highly recommend this audiobook.

There were no issues with the quality or production of this audiobook.
