Join AARP SC for a behind-the-scenes look at the story of Alex Murdaugh with New York Times best- selling author Valerie Bauerlein.
About the Event
Power, privilege and blood—this is the true story of Alex Murdaugh’s violent downfall, from a veteran Wall Street Journal reporter who has become an authority on the case.
Why would a man who had everything kill his wife and grown son? To unwind the roots of Alex’s ruin, award-winning journalist Valerie Bauerlein reported not just from the courthouse every day but also along the backroads and through the tidal marshes of South Carolina’s Lowcountry. Through masterful research and cinematic writing, The Devil at His Elbow is a transporting journey through Alex’s life, the night of the murders and the investigation that culminated in a trial that held tens of millions spellbound.
Valerie Bauerlein is a national reporter for The Wall Street Journal who writes about small-town America and Southern politics, economics and culture.
