About this audiobook
Sometimes a murder story lingers for years after the event. This one has lingered for more than a century, especially in New England. The setting is winter, 1873 on a small, obscure island ten miles off the coast of Maine. Three women await the return of their men the following morning. A killer, who learns they are alone for one night, is rowing to their island, across ten miles of open sea.
The next day, a horrific scene is discovered. It stuns the seacoast towns and begins a series of events that are covered nationally in the months that follow. Recreated from the trial transcript, archived news stories and other sources, Cold Water Crossing tells what happened that long ago evening and why controversy remains to this day.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Well written easy read. The only criticism I have is the author does take some liberties with people's thought and emotions almost pushing this story into the historical fiction genre. Anita Shreve's novel "The Weight of water" is also based on these murders.
