The brutal axe murder of a Texas housewife brings the skeletons out of the closet for married woman Barbara Hershey — she was having an affair with the dead woman’s husband and she just might have committed the crime.
Originally aired as a miniseries in the states A Killing in a Small Town is a downbeat true story with Hershey sporting a severe haircut and glasses to hide her good looks as the somewhat repressed woman with something to hide. The story itself does little to reward her tidy performance.
