Medfield resident Neal Sanders has been writing murder mysteries for about ten years that take place in a town he calls Hardington, a place that sounds an awful lot like Medfield. And by coincidence, Medfield actually has a section of town called Harding.
One of Neal’s first books was Murder for a Worthy Cause, which involves the murder of the town selectman, who, also by coincidence, happens to be an attorney, during the building of a home in town for the Ultimate House Makeover TV show. Ah, those were golden days for my neighborhood, both when town residents came together to build a new house for the Johnson family on that TV show, and also our end of town became what I joking called a “gated community,” as residents and visitors had to pass through police lines to get to our homes.
Many of Neal’s books deal with one of his other loves, gardening and garden clubs. Medfield has been fortunate that Neal and Betty share their gardening knowledge with the town so freely at lectures, and operate the Community Gardens on Plain Street for the town.
