About this listen

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Soulmate and Darling Girls comes the story of Mad Mabel. They called it murder. She called it justice.

'In 1954, at just fourteen years of age, Mabel Waller became the youngest Australian in history to be convicted of murder.'

In 2025, on a quiet Melbourne lane, an elderly man is found dead by his neighbour, 81-year-old Elsie Fitzpatrick. No one suspects any foul play.

Until they discover Elsie's past.

In the 1950s, her name was not Elsie. It was Mabel.

'She is known around the world as Mad Mabel. But is she mad? More importantly, is she guilty?'

When the police open a new investigation and the media descend upon her, the elderly Mabel decides it's time to set the record straight.

'In a world first, at the age of eighty-one, Mabel Waller is speaking. This is her story.'

New York Times bestselling author Sally Hepworth is at her finest in this twisty, compulsive thriller of friendship, family and murder. Or is it justice . . . ?
