When Mary Jane Bennett is found dead in her bed — alone, strangled by her own scarf, and with every door in the house locked — the medical examiner rules her death accidental, the result of a sex game gone horribly awry. State police decline to investigate further, but former NYPD Detective and current Queensbridge Police Chief Caleb Crane doesn't buy for a minute that his good friend died this way, so he undertakes his own investigation. Facing town councilors afraid of bad publicity, an angry medical examiner, and his own personal demons, he labors to solve what he believes is the first-ever murder in his pastoral Berkshire Hills village.

What's complicating things? The list of suspects includes some of the people to whom he is closest — including his own wife.

Narrated by native New Englander Chris Andrew Ciulla. Published by Nor'easter Publishing, a division of Leonardo Audio focused on New England-based authors and stories.

Intriguing circumstances – great character development – easy listening – unexpected ending. Loved the specific details about police/ murder investigations- loved the local landmarks – I was surprised at the ending. Definitely worth listening to.

Murder Mystery at its best
