Welcome to Murders Under the Sun, a podcast that pulls back the curtain on the dark side of sunny Southern California. I’m Molly Shure, and last March, I stumbled upon a chilling pattern—seven crimes, all linked, but their connection buried in the shadows. Each season, we’ll peel back the layers of one case, exposing secrets no one was meant to find.
When Willow elopes with Jonathan, she’s ushered into a fairytale—a prince, a grand estate, a seemingly perfect life. But something is wrong at Sunset House.
Jonathan’s bond with his twin sister unsettles her, and the family’s secrets whisper from empty rooms. Three deaths in three weeks push her from concern to fear. When she discovers a hidden journal filled with tales of abuse and captivity, the fear becomes terror.
As the walls close in, Willow realizes she’s not part of the family—she’s prey. Trapped in a gilded cage, she must play the role of a lifetime to survive, protect her unborn child, and escape before she becomes the next tragedy.
Join me in Season Six and we’ll explore the dark halls of The Manor together.
