Butcher of Baraboo, The

Butcher of Baraboo, The
Valerie is the butcher of Baraboo, Wisconsin. Her husband has gone missing and everyone suspects she played a hand, especially her nosy sister-in-law who just happens to be the town sheriff. And her daughter, a drug-pushing pharmacist, might know more than she lets on. the Butcher of Baraboo is a black comedy about a butcher, a secret, and one perfectly polished meat cleaver.

When Abby, a star on the rise, is simultaneously denied a promotion and asked to kill another woman, tempers flare, guns fire, and out comes a life-or-death game of Monopoly. Killing Women asks what happens when a woman is not taken seriously, but she is given a gun.
