Focusing on the perspectives of three women central to the Crippen murder case, this narrative delves into their complex lives amid societal constraints and rapid change. It reexamines the infamous 1910 crime, challenging previous portrayals that victim-blamed and misrepresented the women's roles. By uncovering new evidence, the author reveals the multifaceted identities of Charlotte, Belle, and Ethel, highlighting their strength and agency against the backdrop of Edwardian society, ultimately redefining their stories beyond mere victimhood.
