Items related to Whistle: A Novel
Just out of prison after serving time on a drug charge, Roper Rackard comes across a woman's body while mowing the tall grass at the far end of his new boss's property, and although he is innocent of her death, Roper panics. Terrified that he will be charged with murdering a white woman and sent back to jail, he decides to hide the body where it won't be found. As days and then weeks pass, and the search for the missing woman continues, Roper begins to doubt himself. Did he do the right thing? Why didn't he call for help? Will anybody believe he is innocent and, most important, how can he possibly come forward now?

About the Author:
From AudioFile:
Janice Daugharty is Artist-in-Residence at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, in Tifton, Georgia. She is the author of one story collection and five novels: Dark of the Moon, Necessary Lies, Pawpaw Patch, Earl in the Yellow Shirt, and Whistle.
While mowing Math Taylor's farm, Roper comes across Laura Taylor's body in a ditch. Secretly hiding the body and pretending he wasn't at work that afternoon, Roper worries himself into a frenzy about whether he did the right thing. Harrison Lee's soft-spoken mumbling is counterbalanced by his booming dialogue, forcing the listener to constantly adjust the volume on this audiobook. While Janice Daugharty has created a work reflecting life for poor blacks in South Georgia, Lee's performance is marred by poor editing, distracting the listener from the tale.
