Vivian was a beloved figure in Painscreek and her death came as a shock to all. Years prior to Janet's arrival in the town of Painscreek, Vivian Roberts - the mayor's wife and all-around do-gooder - was murdered, and nobody was ever convicted for her death. ![]() The Painscreek Killings opens with an introductory exposition voicemail introducing me to Janet, the up-and-coming eager journalist who serves as our first-person protagonist. In a world where things are rarely where they should be and everything is important, it's easy to get lost without old-fashioned notetaking.
