About Books, October 10, 2009

Mardi Link, a former crime reporter, is the author of a fascinating true crime story called "Isadore's Secret: Sin, Murder and Confession in a Northern Michigan Town." The crime scene is Holy Rosary Church in the little town of Isadore. The victim is a very young Sister Janina who disappears in 1907. The players include a Polish housekeeper and her daughter, celibate and not so celibate priests, townspeople, a lady detective and law enforcement officers. It all culminates in an intriguing trial in 1919. Mardi Link's story of discovering and researching this murder makes for an interesting conversation.
