“Criminal Investigations”

onebookonevalleyLeave a comment

Author Castle Freeman, Jr. describes a disturbing crime in “Go With Me,” one of intimidation and unmitigated meanness. The response of law enforcement officials to the reported crime drives the subsequent action in the book. To give perspective on how real-life criminal investigations compare to fictional ones, NH State Police Detective Justin Rowe will make a presentation at the Madison Library on Thursday, October 28 at 7 pm.  

At this presentation, Det. Rowe will speak about criminal investigations in New Hampshire, focusing on how they are handled in rural areas, and then answer questions, including ones related to the types of crimes and investigations described in the book “Go With Me.”

Rebecca Rule photoWriter, humorist, and storyteller Rebecca Rule is a NH treasure–her New Hampshire Humanities Council programs are continually popular, many folks travel miles to attend them. Fortunately for One Book, One Valley planners, Rebecca Rule introduced a new program this year, “Crosscut: Stories of logging, the mills, and life in the Androscoggin Valley,” on a topic aligned with themes in the book “Go With Me.”

“Crosscut” was presented at the beginning of October in Bartlett, but, happily, everyone will have another chance to see the program on Thursday evening, Oct. 21 at 7 pm at the Whitney Community Center in Jackson. Don’t miss it!
