A Gracious Neighbor

When a neighbor is found dead in her West University Place home, the women of the neighborhood begin piecing together what really happened. Reimagining Susan Glaspell's 1917 short story "A Jury of Her Peers," Chris Cander moves the setting to modern-day Texas and infuses it with satire, social commentary, and a keen sense of place. What starts as a murder investigation becomes a sharp examination of suburban life, gendered assumptions, and the truth hidden in plain sight.
