It's just as well her Cozy Capers Book Group's new pick is a nerve-soothing coloring book mystery, especially when she has last-minute wedding planning to do. But all pre-wedding jitters fade into the background when Mac and her fiancé, Tim, begin a cottage renovation project and open up a wall to find a skeleton—sitting on a stool, dressed in an old-fashioned bridal gown . . . As Mac delves into the decades-old mystery with the help of librarian Flo and her book group, she discovers a story of star-crossed lovers and feuding families worthy of the bard himself. Yet this tale has a modern-day villain still lurking in Mac's quaint seaside town, ready to make this a murderous New Year's Eve . . .Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

In 1935 a young Appalachian teacher from Pound, Virginia, was arrested for the murder of her abusive father. The trials that followed attracted the attention of the national press, which chose, as it always does, to portray Appalachia as a land of ignorant, backward and poor folks while they focused on the more lurid details of the case.

With it being Thanksgiving weekend, Rod and Steve have decided to take this week off, so today we are presenting an encore presentation of one of our first podcast episodes. In 1935 a young woman from Pound, Virginia, was accused of murdering her father and put on trial in Wise.  The trial brought on an onslaught of national news attention.  And when the media descended on Wise, Virginia, they brought their Appalachian stereotypes with them.

Sharon Hatfield is a nonfiction author living in Athens, Ohio. Her newest book, Enchanted Ground: The Spirit Room of Jonathan Koons, was published by Swallow Press in November 2018.  Jonathan Koons was considered one of the most impressive physical mediums of the 1850s, and today Koons is credited with developing the trumpet used for voice communication in séances. His Athens County “spirit room,” offered public demonstrations of instrumental music, singing, and spectral hands. During her eight years of research, Hatfield found visitors' accounts in the spiritualist press as well as letters and essays penned by Koons himself. The Journal of Scientific Exploration has termed her book “a fascinating snapshot of the Spiritualist movement in its infancy.”  A native of Ewing, Virginia, Hatfield earned undergraduate degrees in English and biology at Lincoln Memorial University in Tennessee. She became a newspaper reporter and later earned a master's degree in journalism from Ohio University and an MFA in creative nonfiction from Goucher College in Maryland. She also has worked as an editor, English professor, and manuscript consultant.  Sharon has twice received an Individual Excellence Award from the Ohio Arts Council, most recently in 2018 for her work on Enchanted Ground. Her previous book Never Seen the Moon: The Trials of Edith Maxwell won the Weatherford and Chaffin awards for nonfiction.   

A Virginia school teacher named Edith Maxwell found herself in a media frenzy when journalists nicknamed her "The Slipper Slayer" and "Hillbilly Pine Girl." Maxwell was accused and eventually found guilty of murdering her alcoholic father, Trigg in 1935 Pound, VA. Her case would make headlines, sparking a movie based on her story, and ultimately support from a First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. Intro Music by Joe Buck Yourself.

When Mrs. Settle is later found murdered—and a supposed witness insists Bertie was spotted near the scene of the crime—the police blame her. Rose is certain her friend is innocent, and she enlists the help of a blind pregnant client—who’s endured her own share of prejudice—to help her sift through the clues. As the two uncover a slew of suspects tied to financial intrigues, illicit love, and an age-old grudge over perceived wrongs, circumstantial evidence looms large in small minds, and Rose fears her friend will soon become the victim of a grave injustice—or worse.
