Reviews

An Amazon Best Book of the Month: History

"In this taut true crime page-turner...The authors effectively summarize five years of research, utilizing a range of sources, and paint a convincing picture of events that make readers feel like they're experiencing developments in real time...this account will hold appeal beyond David Lynch fans." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"The story is fascinating and the added historical details add depth. Those interested in true crime, especially of an archival nature, will relish this." --Booklist

"In David Bushman and Mark Givens's exhaustively researched book, Laura Palmer's doppelganger is Hazel Drew, a young beauty with deep secrets found dead in a pond outside of Albany in 1908. One-hundred-fifteen years later, Bushman and Givens unspool the mystery of Hazel's unsolved murder, suspect by suspect." --Vanity Fair

"Murder At Teal's Pond is a fascinating, haunting true crime mystery." --Oxygen

"In the literary equivalent of an archaeological dig, authors Bushman and Givens unearth the details of a sensational murder mystery that gripped the nation in 1908 and inspired the sinister cult favorite, Twin Peaks. Now, with Murder at Teal's Pond, the real characters emerge in a drama that proves to be every bit as darkly compelling as the TV classic--if not more so." --John Berendt, author of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
