Race. Real estate. A long forgotten burial account. In this dark satire on small-town politics, a decades' old secret resurfaces when several town officials and an endangered black-bottomed newt meet untimely ends at the hands of America's "purest form of democracy." Turning the mystery genre on its head, Murder at Town Meeting asks, through the template of a typical town meeting warrant, can we know for sure what we claim to know for certain? The who, the how, the how much, and the ladder truck ran down the police cruiser, why exactly?

Selectman, middle school teacher, and first-time novelist Wes Blauss and his wife and fellow teacher Joanne split their time between his not-quite-fictional hometown of Hanson, Massachusetts, and Bethel, Maine, where they farm and ski with their son and daughter-in-law, both teachers, and three grandsons, He's written four plays on small town intrigues: End of the Season, Sons of Israel, Murder at Town Meeting, and Final Impressions. He's seen flipped tables, forged documents, clouded water rights, interdepartmental trysts, and an aerial search for an illegal piggery performed by characters universal in their appeal: condescending public employees, perjured elected officials, whistle blowers, perennial peace-brokers, and single-issue voters who will not succumb to gavel. The one thing he has not witnessed is an actual murder at town meeting, although the number of murders contemplated during a town meeting would probably astonish. This novel is his attempt to remedy that.
