Welcome to Season Two 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. We met Olivia Richards in Season One-a single mother struggling to care for her son after a terrible accident. She is determined to get Brian back to his pre-trauma self and create a new life for them. With a new job, a new boyfriend, and a new beginning, Olivia is finally starting to see the light of a new day. But just as things seem to be looking up, a figure from her past resurfaces, threatening to destroy everything she's worked for. As past and present collide, Olivia fights to save her son from the evil growing from seeds sown in the past. Olivia's story is just one of seven interconnected tales that span five years. As a crime journalist, I've noticed a subtle link between these stories, and in Season One, I began to unravel the truth. But the deeper I dig, the more twisted and sinister the truth becomes. Join me in discovering what lies beyond the gates of The Garden and who will pay the ultimate price for the sins of the past. **Portions of this story previously appeared in The Scent of Wrath by Greta Boris**
