The Fatal Passion of Alma Rattenbury

"'A case study in human frailty, jealousy and desire … fascinating.' The Times, Best Books of 2019 'Superbly evocative and gripping.' The Spectator 'Sean O'Connor can't resist striking a theatrical note in this "biography of murder".' Sunday Times Adultery, alcoholism, drugs and murder on the suburban streets of Bournemouth. The Rattenbury case of 1935 was one of the great tabloid sensations of the interwar period. The glamorous femme fatale at the heart of the story dominated the front pages for months, somewhere between the rise of Hitler and the launch of the Queen Mary. With painstaking research and access to brand new evidence, Sean O'Connor vividly brings this epic story to life, from its beginnings in the South London slums of the 1880s and the open vistas of the British Columbian coast, to its bloody climax in a respectable English seaside resort. The Fatal Passion of Alma Rattenbury is a gripping murder story and a heartbreaking romance as well as the biography of a vital, modern woman trapped between the freedoms of two world wars and suffocated by the conformity of peacetime. A startlingly prescient parable for our times, it is the story of a woman who dared to challenge the status quo only to be crucified by public opinion, pilloried by the press and punished by the relentless machinery of the British legal system. With a wealth of fascinating period detail, from its breathtaking opening to its shocking conclusion, The Fatal Passion of Alma Rattenbury is a true story as enthralling, as provocative and as moving as any work of fiction.

After a traumatic divorce from wife Kathy, Sid marries Jolene and they prove to be a successful partnership, transforming The Bull. But for Emma Carter, choosing a husband is not so straightforward. She finds herself in a state of emotional turmoil, torn between loyal, devoted Will Grundy and his dangerous bad-boy brother Ed. Her inability to pick one over the other brings about fraternal quarrels, a wedding, a family feud, a divorce and a paternity dispute over baby George... For Archers addicts and new listeners alike, the ups and downs and emotional storms of these two love stories make for riveting listening."
