More about the book
Focusing on the perspectives of women involved in a notorious murder case, this historical true crime narrative challenges long-standing perceptions of guilt and innocence surrounding the Crippen murder. It argues that Ethel, Crippen's mistress, was complicit in the crime, while societal attitudes unjustly vilified his wife, Cora. Through a dynamic storytelling approach, the book delves into themes of misogyny, class, and the social changes of the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, revealing a darker side of the seemingly mild-mannered doctor.
