The Six Murders of Daphne St Clair
The Six Murders of Daphne St Clair
A dark and twisty mystery thriller debut, set against the true crime podcast backdrop that sparks discussions about female murderers and public opinion of serial killers. For fans of the satirical bite of How to Kill Your Family and the historical sweep of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.
Meet Daphne St Clair: glamorous ninety-year-old grandmother, care home resident, and your new favourite serial killer.
Meet Ruth Robinson: broke, depressed, aspiring true crime podcaster.
When Daphne confesses to killing a number of men throughout her lifetime, she chooses Ruth to produce the podcast reporting her story. Each episode charts Daphne's humble beginnings from the Dust Bowl in Canada to her glittering life in 70s New York - and a string of murders in her wake.
Daphne tells her story. Ruth listens. And edits it.
The public are hooked. Is she a feminist icon taking revenge on bad men? Or just a ruthless criminal? Then, as the podcast finale approaches, it becomes clear that neither woman has been entirely honest with the other. Who has been controlling the narrative?
After all, the truth doesn't always make for the best story...
A darkly witty thriller, sparking conversations around true crime and female serial killers, for fans of Janice Hallett, Bella Mackie and Katy Brent.
