Ep. 233: Misery

Zo visits the cool, crisp air in the mountains of the tiny, cozy town of Silver Creek, Colorado. Usually, not much goes on, but this year there's a massive blizzard: phone lines are shut down, roads are closed, travel is hazardous and one of the country's most prominent Victorian romance novel authors is missing. It's famously known that the talented writer Paul Shelton takes his vacations in this sleepy town and Sheriff "Buster" McCain is on the case to see if Sheldon can be found. There's little hope that the case will be solved. The whole area is covered in over a dozen inches of snow for miles around making the search difficult. There are those who assumes that he may have had an unfortunate accident, but hope remains that he may be found alive. Somewhat coincidently Sheldon's new novel, Misery's Child, hits the bookstore. There's not much that Zo can do at this point but settle down and enjoy the latest novel featuring its star character Misery.
