? UNDER THE LAMPLIGHT-

Tangled Vines: Power, Privilege, and the Murdaugh Family Murders . In this true-crime book, author John Glatt exposes the tragedies linked with the Murdaugh family at the helm of an empire. In 2019, the intoxicated heir of the South Carolina dynasty, Paul, was in a boating accident, which resulted in the death of his friend, Mallory Beach. Two years later, as he faced charges and was on bond, he and his mother Maggie were found dead on their property. Havoc ensued: Alex, Paul’s father, was accused of the murders in addition to financial fraud, and attempting to fake his own death so that his other son might collect ins. money. The book is a dizzying tale of greed, violence, and how money and power corrupt. You can watch a Netflix documentary about the family as season 2 is slated to come online soon.
