David Strange, Bullitt County History Museum Director, has this to say about this book by Charles Hartley.
"Fact is often more interesting than fiction, and such is the case with Charles Hartley's new book, Murder or Not?. This book needs no fictional characters or made-up storyline. Fact is more than enough to consume the reader's attention.
"Anger and built-up mistrust seething just under the surface.
"A blatant murder is committed right in front of a train-load of people.... yet was it murder?
"And subtly intertwined is a second mystery; a woman found killed in a nearby barn, but the crime unsolved... or hidden.
"Charles Hartley, in his usual wonderful style, begins telling a little of the story, a few of the facts. And before one knows it, the reader is drawn into a book that can't be laid down.
"Not 'fact-based' but completely factual as best as Mr. Hartley's solid research allows, Murder or Not? should be particularly interesting to those who study the law. But it will also satisfy those who just love a good mystery, or, are lovers of small-town history."
This book is available from Amazon in both paperback and as a Kindle version. It is now also available here in a serialized version.
