Based on the Edgar Award-winning, nine-book “Karl Alberg” series by the late Canadian author L.R. Wright, Murder in a Small Town follows Karl Alberg (Sutherland), who moves to a quiet coastal town to soothe a psyche that has been battered by big-city police work. But this gentle paradise has more than its share of secrets, and Karl will need to call upon all the skills that made him a world-class detective in solving the murders that, even in this seemingly idyllic setting, continue to wash up on his shore.
Kreuk stars as Cassandra, a local librarian who becomes Alberg’s muse, foil, and romantic interest. Together they navigate the treacherous waters of small-town life, while also uncovering dark secrets that threaten to unravel their fragile relationship.
As they delve deeper into the town’s past, Alberg and Cassandra discover that the town is not what it seems – and that the truth may be more dangerous than any crime they have ever solved. With each new twist, they must confront their own demons and uncover the true nature of their newfound love.
