In 1832, Sarah Maria Cornell was found dead in a New England farmyard after a secret correspondence with Methodist minister Ephraim Avery. Was it suicide or murder? Victorian writer Catharine Williams investigated as the trial unfolded and wrote Fall River, claimed as America's first true-crime book; the case also helped inspire The Scarlet Letter. Kate Winkler Dawson revisits the unsolved story with modern tools to finish what Williams began.
