No murderer should ever be the keeper of their victim's story …
On 1 February, 1910, vivacious music-hall performer, Belle Elmore,
suddenly vanished from her north London home, causing alarm among her
circle of female friends, the entertainers of the Music Hall Ladies’
Guild who demanded an immediate investigation.
They could not have known what they would provoke: the unearthing of a
gruesome secret, followed by a fevered manhunt for the prime suspect:
Belle’s husband, medical fraudster, Dr Hawley Harvey Crippen.
Hiding in the shadows of this evergreen tale is Crippen’s typist and
lover, Ethel Le Neve – was she really just ‘an innocent young girl’ in
thrall to a powerful older man as so many people have since reported?
In this epic examination of one of the most infamous murders of the
twentieth century, prizewinning social historian Hallie Rubenhold gives
voice to those who have never properly been heard – the women.
Featuring a carnival cast of eccentric entertainers, glamorous lawyers,
zealous detectives, medics and liars, STORY OF A MURDER is meticulously
researched and multi-layered, offering the reader an electrifying
snapshot of Britain and America at the dawn of the modern era.
