"Murder in the Manse" depicts life in the small town of Halifax where nothing unusual ever occurs, and it also paints a vivid picture of the raw prejudice which its inhabitants hold toward new-comers. Suddenly shocking news spreads like fire over the town, news that the first murder in over a century has occurred in their midst. To make matters even more shocking the murder occurs in the manse (home) of the new pastor and wife. The decision as to the guilt or innocence of the suspect is decided in the prejudiced minds of the citizens of the town long before the murder trial begins. Each day as the trial progresses more and more suspense is built up in their minds and hearts. The unusual methods used by the defense attorney keeps the attention of those present in the court room. The unexpected turn that the trial takes at the very last brings about an unexpected effect on every citizen of the small of Halifax.

“Being very feminine and naturally pretty (so pretty that others lose their reason) isn’t every woman’s good fortune. For those who do possess those charms, life can bring some powerful, often unexpected experiences. They may encounter events which affect them in a way that others never experience. However, this may not always feel advantageous.” Maria is a beautiful woman, but her looks have not brought her happiness. “Women who possess true beauty may find themselves bullied because of it. The root cause is often jealousy, and an insecure partner, or friend, or colleague will seek to gain control. In a relationship, a pretty woman may be perceived as weak; however, an apparent softness coupled with an adorable appearance doesn’t guarantee that she is easily led, and those who try to act on their assumptions may find themselves confounded by her strength of character. They respond angrily, when they realise their mistake.”
