Murder in the Red Barn

"Because her husband had not been seen nor heard for six years of his return to the farm, the gossips had increased their gaggle and clack. They will make Sunday rides to observe the flourishing Gunter farm, which would seem to be done without the help of its namesake. They will scan for bars in windows to explain the disappearance entire of a native son. But none will be more noticing than Caitlin Kilkenney Gunter's neighbor Franklin Ohlemacher, whose own spouse was carried away by ambulance in the early spring of 1923."

Inspired by the Tom Waits song...
