About this listen

This is the truly remarkable life story of the notorious Ethel Livesey, a serial fraudster and confidence trickster who became a media sensation after she ran out on her society wedding in 1945 and later was arrested for obtaining goods by false pretences.

With a prologue by Ethel Livesey's granddaughter, this extraordinary tale of Australia's greatest fraudster is told for the first time in rich and fascinating detail.

Critic Reviews

"Too unbelievable [for] a work of non-fiction!" ( Sunshine Coast Daily)
All stars
Most relevant  
Fascinating insight into a larger than life woman from a different era in Australian history. On par with Ponzi.

Wonderful narration by Ella James

Can’t stand the girly voice of the narration for the subject of the book - really distracting to the overall story

Really interesting
