Story of a murder: The wives, the mistress and Doctor Crippen by Hallie Rubenhold

Hallie Rubenhold turned attention away from the murderer to the women he killed in The Five: The Untold lives of the women killed by Jack the Ripper. In this fascinating story - read by actress Juliet Stevenson - she does the same for music hall performer Belle Elmore, murdered by her husband Dr Crippen. It's a masterpiece of research, storytelling, history, and empathy. It is long - 17 hours - but it needs to be for this big story.
