Okay. I admit it. I laughed. Does that make me a bad person?

I just finished Story Of A Murderer by Halle Rubenhold and I have to give it a big thumbs up. I do have to point out that I know little about the case except for what most people with a general interest in true crime so I’m no judge of the accuracy of her research but it certainly appears to have been well researched. It was well written and an interesting to read and the author certainly gives plenty of background detail without being boring. It’s interesting how Belle Elmore posthumously gained such a terrible reputation. Stereotypes played into it of course with Belle portrayed as the domineering (manlike) unfaithful harridan and Ethel as the innocent maiden duped by the moustache-twirling villain Crippen Did Ethel Le Neve know what had happened to Belle? It’s difficult to see how she couldn’t have without accepting the ‘extreme naiveté’ defence.


This book, to me, smacks of being the ‘last word on the case.’ Though with such a famous case it’s unlikely to be.

We are taking the rare public announcement to state that we have received a/some Report Post/s, on the above post. The issue we are having, is that the nature of the personal attack is not inherently obvious to us and the affront as seen from the Reporter's point of view is not outlined. So our question is.... what is the perceived insult in the above question? Wherein lies the offense? We need it explained. So if you have a particular take on the above line, feel free to weigh in to our PM box, so we can judge the perceived question, beyond the question. Thanks.
