What Murder in a Small Town Season 2 Having More Episodes Means For Its Future

Not only that, but the central relationship at the core of the series needs this room to breathe. Mixing the show’s procedural format with the lead pair’s romance left very little time to explore anything else outside of these main plots.
There are nine novels in Wright’sAlberg and Cassandra Mysteriesseries, released between 1985 and 1997.
