True Crimes of the Hudson Valley: A Fictional View
Lunch, Then Learn | Registration opens 4/7/2025 9:00 AM EST
Our idyllic Hudson Valley is beautiful on the outside, but beneath the surface lurks the darkness of notorious true crimes. In this class, local author Jode Millman will explore the headline-making crimes that inspired her award-winning mystery series, and how fiction can be deadlier than true crime. You may be surprised to learn that a murderer lived next door! A more precise title of this course could be “True Crimes of the Hudson Valley: Fiction is Deadlier than True Crime!”
