Show Notes
Today we talk with Edwin Hill about his book Who To Believe. It will release today from Kensington
Books.
Monreith, Massachusetts, was once a small community of whalers and farmers. These days it’s a well-to-do
town filled with commuters drawn to its rugged coastline and country roads. A peaceful, predictable place—
until popular restaurateur Laurel Thibodeau is found brutally murdered in her own home. Suspicion naturally
falls on Laurel’s husband, Simon, who had gambling debts that only her life insurance policy could fix. But
there are other rumors too . . .
Among the group of six friends gathered for Alice Stone’s fortieth birthday, theories abound concerning
Laurel’s death. Max Barbosa, police chief, has heard plenty of them, as has his longtime friend, Unitarian
minister Georgia Fitzhugh. Local psychiatrist Farley Drake is privy to even more, gleaning snippets of gossip
and information from his patients while closely guarding his own past.
But maybe everyone in Monreith has something to hide. Because before this late-summer evening has come
to a close, one of these six will be dead. And as jealousy, revenge, adultery, and greed converge, the
question becomes not who among these friends might be capable of such a thing, but—who isn’t?
