Moonshine Murders

Moonshine Murders centers around the Cartwright family of Mannington, West Virginia, in 1877 with Thornton F. Cartwright at its head. He walks a tight rope between murder trials, crooked whiskey, passing the queer, and vigilantes, trying to keep his family intact all the while operating a moonshine gang out of Marion County.

Nancy Cartwright is the local Granny Woman in Marion County. She is every bit as resolute and passionate as her husband when it comes to family. Nor have advancing years lessened Thornton and Nancy’s passion for each other.
