EP 58: If There’s A Will PT 1

Dec 6

In this week’s episode, Paul and Kate head back to 1830 Salem, Massachusetts for the first part of a two-part episode where an elderly man as wealthy as he is reviled is found dead in his mansion. With a long list of family and staff under suspicion, you'll be wise to get out your pen and paper.
