September 2025 Editing Update for Murder in a Nutshell
The absolute best part of deconstructing and reconstructing the current edit of Murder in a Nutshell: The Frances Glessner Lee Story documentary is revisiting the photos I took throughout the years. The detail and forced perspective are astounding. Frances Glessner Lee was a genius on so many fronts. For you Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death fans, do you know which Nutshell this is?

Murder in a Nutshell: The Frances Glessner Lee Story
We are working hard on the re-edit of Murder in a Nutshell: The Frances Glessner Lee Story. Why the re-edit? We recently filmed two incredible interviews that will add so much new dimension to the documentary. We could not be more thrilled to "cram in as many clips as possible" from our interviews with the legendary Corinne May Botz and Frances Glessner Lee's Great granddaughter, Avery Lee. The film should be done in just a few short months and again, we could not be more thrilled.

All that Glitter TV Pilot by Susan Marks
Frances Glessner Lee definitely influenced me writing the TV pilot, All that Glitters. The main character in my script is brilliant, misunderstood, obsessed with murder, struggling to fit into societal norms, an underdog driven by redemption and held back by inner demons, just like Frances. In fact, my character's name was Frances for many versions of the script until I changed it to Grace because it is more appropriate for something that happens later in the series.

Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death - Missing Nutshell
I recently took this photo of "Sitting Room and Woodshed" -- the Nutshell that was missing but also hiding in plain sight for decade at the Bethlehem Heritage Center in NH. I love it so much because in this light, it's so hard to tell it's a miniature. And I love how Frances Glessner Lee just keeps on keeping us guessing.
For those of you who are wondering, we are still working on Murder in a Nutshell: The Frances Glessner Lee Story. I love how this film is coming together.
