Small Town Murder Songs (2010)

In the quiet folds of a small Ontario town, predominantly home to a close-knit Mennonite community, life is disrupted by the discovery of a young woman's lifeless body on the nearby lake's shore. Walter, the town's stern yet deeply flawed police chief, finds himself drawn into a gothic and unnerving tale of crime and redemption. Reeling from a violent past that still echoes in his newly reformed life, Walter's faith and patience are tested when this first murder mystery in his jurisdiction unfolds. The victim is an alluring stranger, not known to the townsfolk, and the investigation is led by the Ontario Provincial Police. However, Walter's intimate knowledge of his town and its people proves invaluable. As he maneuvers through the intricate web of clues and lies, he is inexorably drawn back to his own troubled past and a former love interest whose truthfulness is thrown into question. Small Town Murder Songs is a compelling exploration of a man wrestling with his demons, a town shaken from its peaceful slumber, and a murder that threatens to reveal secrets better left buried. As Walter grapples with the chaos erupting around him, he must also confront his own simmering tempest, a volatile temper that caused a disturbing incident only months prior. What unfolds is a riveting journey of a man seeking justice, battling his own nature, and desperately trying to hold onto the threads of his fragile redemption.
