Reviews
"Painstaking research, married to a novelist's instinct for storytelling, make each new book by Hallie Rubenhold a gripping and educational adventure. Story of a Murder takes us beyond the infamous Dr Crippen to the lives impacted by him, the society in which he moved, and the public's appetite to be shocked and scandalized. Terrific." --Ian Rankin, #1 New York Times and international bestselling author "A fantastic read: the story of the women killed by Dr Crippen and how a raggle-taggle band of variety theatre ladies fought for their friend. Crammed with fascinating of social history and detail, Story of a Murder is compelling to the very last page" --Denise Mina, nationally bestselling author of Three Fires "A long overdue reappraisal of a notorious murder that shines a spotlight on the women at the heart of the story. Rubenhold's historical detective work will keep you horrified, fascinated, and enraged to the last. Another triumph from a masterful storyteller!" --Lindsey Fitzharris, New York Times bestselling author of The Butchering Art "Unbelievably addictive - I defy you to put it down! Written with Rubenhold's completely unique combination of sleuthing, storytelling and compassion." --Lucy Worsley, author of Agatha Christie: An Elusive Woman "A fascinating debunking of the myth-making that surrounds Crippen and Le Neve. Putting Belle and her cohort of strong independent women front and center is long overdue! It's about time Belle became the hero of her own story." --Val McDermid, internationally bestselling author of Past Lying "Nothing but praise for Rubenhold's exhaustive research and arresting story line. I couldn't put it down." --Bonnie Garmus, New York Times bestselling author of Lessons in Chemistry "[Rubenhold] deftly maintains fidelity not only to facts, distinguishing between what can and cannot be certain and proved, but also to narrative intrigue, somehow creating suspense despite decades of extensive journalistic coverage and study of her subject. But Rubenhold's true mark as a narrator of historical true crime is reinforced in this work by her continued loyalty to the women whose characters and stories have been flattened and overshadowed by journalists' assumptions, their killers' fame, or the simple fact of their victimhood. A satisfying read that gives the impression that some new justice has been done." -- Kirkus, "Painstaking research, married to a novelist's instinct for storytelling, make each new book by Hallie Rubenhold a gripping and educational adventure.

Synopsis
*The International Bestseller* This is the story of a murder, not a murderer . . . In this epic examination of one of the most infamous murders of the twentieth century, bestselling author of The Five, Hallie Rubenhold, gives voice to those who were never properly heard--the women. On February 1, 1910, the vivacious, diamond-adorned music hall performer Belle Elmore suddenly vanished from her home, causing alarm among her friends, the entertainers of the Music Hall Ladies' Guild. Their demands for an investigation would lead to the unearthing of a gruesome secret and trigger a fevered international manhunt for Belle's husband, medical fraudster Dr. Hawley Harvey Crippen. Ethel Le Neve, Crippen's typist and lover, who fled with Crippen in disguise, has always hidden in the shadows of this tale--was she really just "an innocent young girl" in thrall to a powerful older man? And was there an equally sinister story behind the death of Crippen's first wife, Charlotte? Brimming with twists and featuring a carnival cast of eccentric entertainers, star lawyers, zealous detectives, medics and liars, Story of a Murder offers an electrifying snapshot of Britain and America at the dawn of the modern era.
