About this listen

This week, Rachel chats with bestselling historian Hallie Rubenhold, the woman rewriting the stories behind Britain’s most famous crimes. Hallie’s hit book The Five turned the Jack the Ripper story on its head by focusing on the women he killed, not the man himself. It won the Baillie Gifford Prize for non-fiction and topped the Sunday Times bestseller list.

Her new book, Story of a Murder: The Wives, The Mistress and Dr Crippen, dives into the shocking Edwardian murder case of Dr Crippen and the extraordinary women who helped bring him to justice.

Rachel and Hallie discuss the dark side of true crime, why history has ignored women’s voices for too long, and how to shift the gaze on murder from the male detectives and perpetrators back to the female victim.
