A Memorable Murder
Celia Thaxter
On a cold, moonlit night in March 1873, a horrific double murder shattered the peace of Smutty-Nose Island, one of the Isles of Shoals off the coast of New Hampshire. In this haunting true account, Celia Thaxter—a resident of the Shoals and one of the first responders to the tragedy—recounts the chilling events with vivid clarity and emotional depth.
Through Thaxter’s eloquent prose, we come to know the victims: kind-hearted Norwegian immigrants whose peaceful, humble lives were suddenly ended by a man they had trusted as family. A Memorable Murder is more than a true-crime narrative—it is a poetic, harrowing lament for innocence lost, justice sought, and lives forever changed by one man’s calculated violence.
Narrated with stark emotional resonance by Tony J. Martin, this audiobook revives one of New England’s most infamous crimes with historical precision and literary grace.
