Description
The Sinners All Bow by Kate Winkler Dawson is a true-crime narrative that delves into the 1832 murder investigation that inspired Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter. On a cold winter day, Sarah Maria Cornell was found dead in a quiet farmyard, and the case sparked a national debate about her troubled past and a secret correspondence with Reverend Ephraim Avery. Acclaimed journalist and true-crime historian Kate Winkler Dawson re-examines the case using modern investigative advancements, including forensic knot analysis and criminal profiling. Dawson's meticulous research fills in the gaps of the original investigation, shedding new light on the events surrounding Sarah Cornell's death. This book is a gripping and thought-provoking exploration of a scandalous murder investigation that continues to captivate audiences today. By embarking on this journey, Dawson brings justice to an unsettling mystery that speaks to our past as well as our present, anchored by three women who subverted the script they were given.
