While Richard Dutcher's 2001 film "Brigham City" and Marilyn Brown's novelisation "Serpent in Paradise" tell the same basic story, they are two very different works. Dutcher's film was an exploration of religious values and the social behaviour these values help shape, wrapped up in a fairly simple murder mystery. Brown uses no mystery tropes (a good idea, since nearly every potential reader has seen the movie), and does very little to probe questions of religious belief and their social repercussions beyond what the movie offered up. Instead, she presents a character study of the two main characters, Wes, the bishop and sheriff, and Ben/Terry, the rapist-murder and deputy sheriff. Brown spends over half the book creating a back story for events of the film and filling in scenes which could not appear in the film without destroying the mystery. Brown is particularly successful in creating a plausible and engrossing back story to explain Terry's behaviour, going back to his childhood, putting us in his mind and giving the reader an empathetic understanding of what made him tick. She obviously has done some reading of the psychology of violent sociopaths. Brown presents both the sexual and physical abuse he suffered at the hands of his step-father, and the rapes and eventually murders he commits, subtly avoiding the kind of graphic detail that would go beyond bounds of accepted Mormon taste. She does not spoon feed information to the reader, but instead lets our understanding of Terry and the nature of his crimes come out in piecemeal fashion.
