Sociopaths can fool anyone. Despite their superficial charm, most of what they do and say is designed to manipulate. Even those closest to them don't see it coming. Susan Prather's greatest fear plays out in the courtroom as her husband faces eight counts of murder. The town is convinced of his guilt, but they don't know him like she does. - Reasonable Doubts is a short story by Jade Lazlow
The graveyard overlooking Jade Lazlow's hometown is visible from everywhere, like an ever-present reminder of mysterious forces beyond the veil. The town had been a station on the Underground Railroad, so it’s steeped in history and legend. It’s also not far downriver from Mothman country.
It was against that backdrop that Jade discovered her love of writing and all things creepy. She garnered inspiration from local legends told in hushed whispers, creepy comic books, and thrillers and mysteries from the town’s library.
I just finished Reasonable Doubts by Jade Lazlow, and it stunned me. I couldn't imagine such a short story would pack so much of a punch in it, or that one could put so much discription into a book that you could see and taste the emotions, the town, and the people.
