The Night Away: A Conversation with Sharon Hatfield, Journalist and Author of "Never Seen the Moon: The Trials of Edith Maxwell"

In 1935, a young schoolteacher named Edith Maxwell went out dancing. When she came back to her family's home in Pound, Virginia, the trouble started. By the next day, her father Trigg was dead. But was Edith a murderer, or a victim? And how did relentless media coverage poison the public's understanding of the case. In this episode, we'll speak to author and journalist Sharon Hatfield about her book on the case.
