The Widowmaker

The matriarch of the exceedingly wealthy Reynolds family has invited photographer Morgan Mori, recently returned home to Black Harbor, WI, to take pictures at their Christmas party. On the way home from the party, Morgan stops at a convenience store and witnesses police officer Brix Garrison’s murder. Garrison’s partner, Ryan Hudson, is devastated by the murder and is determined to investigate the case himself, but he is instead assigned to investigate the disappearance of the Reynolds family patriarch, Clive. Garrison had been investigating this same case—a 20-year-old cold case—right before he was killed. Hudson interviews Morgan as a witness to the shooting, and in subsequent interviews she reveals the abuse that she suffered as a child. Garrison’s murder, Clive Reynolds’s disappearance, and Morgan’s surprising connection to the Reynolds family come to light. Narrators Adam Verner and Xe Sands provide each character with a unique voice, ably capturing their grief and deep emotion.
