Description

Welcome to Season Five of Murders Under the Sun, a podcast that takes a trip to the dark side of sunny Southern California. I'm your host, Molly Shure.

Honey Wells wanted her first hike of the year to change her life. Exercise, eat right, and reduce stress—it was all to start with a simple hike in Black Star Canyon. But her New Year's resolution didn't include finding a dead body half-buried in the mud.

Honey's world unravels. Her brother-in-law has stolen her savings. Her business is struggling. And now she's caught in a police investigation. As panic attacks begin to destroy her, Honey hires a new assistant, only to discover the woman may be the victim of an abusive cult. Meanwhile, threatening e-mails from her brother-in-law promise more trouble.

A bullet-riddled sign warns the uninvited to stay away from the cult compound in Black Star Canyon. But Honey Wells has questions, and she knows the answers are hidden at the end of the long road behind that locked gate.

Unlock The Keep to reveal its mysteries.
