The Class Assignment is Murder

Some Murder Stories Never Die –

It is the summer of 2019, and Hannah Stein, an English professor at a college in Lancaster County, PA, is hunting for an unusual topic that will intrigue three apathetic students. Hannah suggests that her students join her and examine an old local murder case that has troubled her for years. Her students will glean material for their research papers, and Hannah hopes she will find answers to her nagging questions. But not everyone thinks this investigation is a good idea. Ethan, Hannah’s handsome neighbor, wants Hannah to stop meddling with the past and concentrate on him. However, Hannah, a widow in her forties, cannot abandon her probe just to please a man. Much to Hannah’s surprise, her inquiry pulls Hannah and her students down dangerous paths. In addition, this investigation resurrects dark childhood memories that cannot be ignored. When Hannah was five years old, she witnessed her mother’s murder but was unable to identify the killer. Hannah Stein never dreamed a simple class assignment would both uncover and generate so many murders.
