Summer, 1827.  In a red barn in Suffolk, England, Maria Marten awaits her lover.  A year later, her body is found. It was an event that had all the hallmarks of a classic crime drama, but in the hysteria, Maria’s story got lost.  Until now. This spine-tingling version rediscovers her story, bringing it back to vivid, urgent life.
