  • The "Real" Laura Palmer Murder Mystery
    Jan 21 2025

    In this David Lynch tribute, Nancy revisits the murder case that inspired Twin Peaks's Laura Palmer saga: the "beautiful and beguiling" Hazel Drew, a 20-year old small town girl whose mysterious life and violent death was a shocking, enduring mystery for over a century.

    That is, until two diehard Twin Peaks fans took a crack at the case — and wrote a book about their investigation. Who killed Hazel Drew, the real-life Laura Palmer? They have a clue. Enjoy this very sleepy true crime story inspired by the late great David Lynch.

Insomnia be gone

Love love love this. The voice modulation, the pace, the pausing, the background sounds… well choreographed to put you to sleep in the best way. If I don’t listen to it every night I struggle getting to sleep. If I wake through the night I put it on and back to sleep I go.

Dead Boring

The reader is so painfully slow & the contents so dull & drawn out. Better suited to a cemetery audience.
