Brattleboro Featured in NPR Series

For the past few years National Public Radio's Morning Edition has gone noir in August, profiling crime novelists and the places they write about. Their "Crime in the City" series kicked off on Monday, August 1, with a visit to Brattleboro, "one of America's best small art towns highlighted with white church steeples."
