This is the story of a murder, not a murderer ... Throughout the 20th century, the infamous 'Crippen murder' was told in such a way as to cast doubt on Crippen's guilt and to victim-blame his wife Cora, a musichall actress, for her own murder. It also astonishingly depicted Crippen's younger mistress Ethel as innocent of any involvement in the killing of her love rival. Not so, says Rubenhold. In fact, Ethel got away with murder, and the same Edwardian beliefs about women that demonised his wife also blinded society to Ethel's guilt. By telling the story through the women's eyes, we see clearly who this lying, deceitful, misogynistic criminal doctor was. He was not 'the mild-mannered murderer' as everyone from Raymond Chandler to Dorothy Sayers has suggested, but a dead-eyed, unrepentant killer. STORY OF A MURDER is a grand experiment in subverting a famous history. With a galloping narrative at its centre, it explores the late Victorian and Edwardian era, class aspiration, the transatlantic world and the incredible period of social revolution for women. © Hallie Rubenhold 2025 (P) Penguin Audio 2025

Everyone is dying to be invited… Amelia receives an exclusive invitation to the party of the year. Billionaire business magnate Lawrence is getting married, and it looks set to be a summer wedding to remember. He rarely appears in the public eye, so this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for Amelia. She has spent months building up to this moment; it’s her only chance to get revenge. Because she knows who Lawrence really is – that beneath the polished public persona he is a vicious killer, responsible for the deaths of not just Amelia’s sister but several other innocent women. What Amelia doesn’t know is that Lawrence has a plan of his own. And that some of the people at this party aren’t meant to be guests. They are meant to be victims… © Amy Cunningham 2025 (P) Penguin Audio 2025
